Reviews

[Anne Hamilton · Rating 3 out of 5]

Manga-style with a bonus: the first few pages actually explains some simple technical aspects of how to read manga. Wide eyes, exaggerated expressions, different artistic devices: it's a great extra.

Gold Team is preparing for a sports match against another space station's team.

Between a stowaway who has changed the journey coordinates, their complete inexperience with the surface conditions of any planet and the bog-monster, Gold Team could just be in heaps of trouble!
