Después de la boda, Hachimaki y Tabane han vuelto a sus respectivas rutinas. Hachi se prepara para su viaje a Júpiter, mientras que su mujer espera en una estación espacial a que reparen su nave. Allí conocerá a Baron, un extraño personaje que declara ser un extraterrestre procedente de Reticulum, que fue castigado y transformado en humano. Por su parte, Fee se vuelve cada vez más escéptica. El aumento de la tensión entre los países y la utilización de los satélites como minas anuncian una guerra de consecuencias insospechadas en la que todo presagia que los desperdicios siderales pueden convertirse en proyectiles letales.
Seri bitti. Şu haliyle Türkçe basılmış en keyifli, derli toplu mangalardan, bilim kurgulardan biri olduğunu düşünüyorum. Çok beğendim. Çizgi Düşler yine özel bir seçki ile beni yakaladı. Moon ve Ba biraderler, Chabute, Y Son Erkek, Thorgal gibi nice önemli iş ve/veya eserle heyecanlandırdıkları gibi.
Son ciltte bazı bazı eksik gördüğüm şeyler oldu. Ama sonradan düşününce mevcut halini de beğendim. Örneğin Haçi’yi neredeyse göremeyeceğiz sandım uzun süre. Hikaye cildin ilk yarısında bambaşka yerlere odaklandı. Sadece bu ciltte değil, tüm seride şöyle bir (problem?) durum var; gerek yan karakterler, gerek onların özellikleri ve geçmişleriyle gerekse de başka yan hikayelerle(ve daha ziyade bunlardan vermek istediği mesajlarla) Yukimura biraz fazla şey anlatmaya çalışmış. Pek çok derdini, tespitini kısıtlı bir alanda ifade gayretinde. Bu biraz anlatmaya gayret ettiği yan hikayelerin güdük kalmasına sebep olmuş, biraz da ana hikayenin daha gür olamasına mani. Aslında sulandırma, uzatma sevmiyorum. Ama sanki editöryal bir ayar gerekliymiş. Ya bazı karakterler/hikayeler törpülenmeli yahut matematiği bozmayacak, okuru usandırmayacak bir beş ciltlik kurgu hazırlanmalıymış. Dayı hikayesi diyeyim mesela, okuyanlar anlayacaktır. Locksmith de eksik hissettirdi mesela…
Hülasa, belki de biraz hayat gibidir. Kitabın sonundaki son görev konuşması gibi. Biraz spontan. Olağan. Her şey her zaman beklediğimiz gibi olmaz. Öyle bir beklenti karşılama hali bir suniliğe de sebebiyet verebilir. Yani şu haliyle, “olan” haliyle Planetes bende özel ve kıymetli bir noktada kendine yer buluyor. Net tavsiyedir.
Ne znam šta sam to pročitala, pravo da kažem. Nešto zaista neverovatno imaginativno, do detalja zamišljeno, neobično zanimljivo, toliko stoji. Dosta dugo sam čitala jer sam imala osećaj da je u pitanju nešto duboko, gusto, što se treba doživeti bez brzanja. Pritom sam se malo izgubila u toji dubini i gustini, malo pobrkala konce, likove, radnju, na način na koji se čovek gubi u životu, brkajući sebe i svoje snove sa tuđincima i tuđim snovima.
Mogla bih odmah knjigu od početka ponogo da krenem da čitam, ali neću, neka ostane magija doživljaja još neko vreme, neka se ustali, biće vremena. Planetes će se čitati ponovo, sigurno.
A avaliação que farei é para os 4 volumes como um todo.
Antes de começar, preciso dizer que não tenho o costume de consumir mangás/hqs. Sempre fui uma pessoa que ama o texto em prosa, linha sobre linha e, por muito tempo, tive um pouco de preconceito com esse formato. Apesar de amar Calvin e Mafalda, eu tinha essa ideia que uma história longa, para ser profunda, precisava ser escrita em prosa, como um "livro normal".
Bom, Planetes vem para mostrar o quanto eu estava enganado.
Nesses quatro volumes acompanhamos a história de Hachimaki e como ele evolui enquanto luta para alcançar o seu objetivo: conseguir muito dinheiro para comprar uma nave e viajar pelo espaço. Acontece muita coisa no caminho e a gente vai conhecendo (e se apaixanonando) pelas personagens que cercam o protagonista.
A história, além de ser envolvente, te cativa logo de cara. O autor traz diversas discussões que são mega importantes e que devem ser pensadas, sendo a principal delas, a quantidade alarmante de lixo espacial que temos ao redor da Terra. Curiosamente, estou assistindo vários vídeos sobre astronomia e vi sobre esse assunto recentemente. Se não tomarmos cuidado, podemos colocar tanto lixo na atmosfera que chegará o momento que não conseguiremos mais sair do planeta. Parece uma discussão distante, mas não é.
Esse é outro ponto incrível desse mangá. Ele consegue aproximar da nossa realidade assuntos que parecem completamente distantes, tanto no tempo quanto no espaço. Política, religião e filosofia permeiam os quadrinhos de Planetes de uma forma sutil e contribui para dar vida à história.
Foi uma experiência muito engrandecedora ler esses mangás. Me deixou pensando muito sobre nosso lugar no mundo e as coisas que são realmente importantes na nossa vida.
Zavrsetak serijala... Genijalno nacrtano, kadrirano, dizajnirano. Na momente pomalo dosadno + ono na sta cesto nailazim u mangama da se likovi koji su odrasli i ozbiljni ljudi ponasaju kao idioti koji su i dalje u obdanistu. Ali, crtez je toliko maestralan da ne mogu da dam nista manje od 5 zvezdica.
“Hoy como ayer, el hombre que no encuentra un sentido a su vida se hunde en el vacío existencial” Viktor E. Frankl
Leer un novela gráfica pareciera ser una lectura ligera sin grandes pretensiones, pareciera algo no culto, donde solo abundan gráficos con diálogos vacíos o redundantes. Pero y si me encontrara leyendo una obra donde el autor ha depositado su esperanza, su sueño de crear una obra que pudiera convencer a cualquiera que lo lea, en solo cuatro viñetas, de creer de que hay una razón para vivir, donde pueda demostrar que no hace falta recorrer todo el mundo en busca de una respuesta, que la respuesta está en el interior de uno mismo, donde se encuentra una fuerza capaz de crear todo lo que existe. Entonces es una obra que merezca ser leída, aunque la respuesta parezca un cliché, una palabra desgastada, pisoteada y sin valor.
La respuesta está impregnada en determinadas acciones como el perdón, la protección, comprensión, aceptación, admiración, amistad y el amor. El autor Makoto Yukimura da una respuesta, que no tiene que ser universal, pero intenta en cuatro tomos manifestar que el ser humano no puede vivir en la soledad, no puede sobrevivir al rechazo, se autodestruirá frente al odio y se hundirá en el vacío existencial frente al temor y la duda. La respuesta está en el nombre de la esposa del protagonista Hachimaki Oshino, en el nombre: Ai (愛), palabra japonesa que significa Amor. El amor es la respuesta que se había revelado desde el principio, desde el primer tomo cuando Yuri después de recuperar la brújula de su esposa, decide quedarse en el ToyBox junto a las personas con las que comparte una amistad, porque en la amistad está impregnada el amor, aunque ha perdido a su esposa y la razón de estar en el espacio ha concluido, su búsqueda le ha llevado a conocer a personas con las que puede compartir emociones humanas como la alegría y el sufrimiento, ha descubierto un lugar donde estar.
En cuatro tomos, somos testigos del renacimiento de Hachimaki, un proceso duro en el cual deberá enfrentar a sus propios miedos, a su yo interior, circunstancias que lo llevarán al borde de la muerte. Finalmente será el amor que rescatará a Hachimaki de su duda existencial y será el motivo para volver con vida de su gran viaje por el espacio, porque "un buen astronauta vuelve a casa sano y salvo". Será la razón de desear volver al ToyBox (la nave recolectora de deshechos espaciales), su antiguo trabajo, donde encontrará a sus amigos y a la persona que ama. Así es como renunciará a su determinación inicial, viajar en su propia nave hacia el espacio y perderse en él, olvidará que un astronauta debía ser un ser egoísta y solitario.
Pero la obra de Makoto Yukimura no sólo se reduce a exponer lo que considera su respuesta a las diversas preguntas, sino también muestra los prejuicios racistas en pleno sigo XXI y las consecuencias de ello. La incapacidad de la sociedad de tolerar a las personas que piensan de una manera distinta, pues es la sociedad la que impone sus reglas y el hombre debe adaptarse y vivir con ella, así sea contrario a su propia naturaleza e ideales, es la sociedad la que crea sus propios monstruos y luego intenta deshacerse de ellos. Es la voz de Fee que exclama ante el recuerdo de su tío, un ser antisocial, que llora de impotencia al ver su mundo en llamas: "Las personas incapaces de adaptarse a esta mierda de sociedad... ¿A dónde pueden ir?". Expone situaciones donde nos induce a preguntarnos ¿Qué es madurar? ¿Es madurar abandonar los sueños o es adaptarse a la sociedad nos guste o no? ¿En qué momento cambiamos sin darnos cuenta? ¿Podemos recuperar lo que hemos perdido?
Esta es una obra, que al terminar de leerla uno quiere más, talvez el arco argumental de Hachimaki quede terminada, pero hay arcos que pueden considerarse inconclusos, el arco del Barón, un ser que dice ser extraterrestre y se enamora de una de las mujeres más bonitas de la estación espacial. El arco del hermano menor de Hachimaki, una réplica casi exacta de sus ideas incipientes, y aunque tiene un futuro prominente en la actividad espacial queda dudas sobre como influenciará la nueva filosofía existencial de Hachimaki en él. El arco de las consecuencias del síndrome Kessler, pues una de las minas ha explotado a causa de una guerra espacial eminente. Talvez sean arcos menores pero hubiera sido interesante saber cómo Makooto Yukimura podría desarrollarlos.
Finalmente a pesar de ello, Planetes es una obra digna de ser leída y recordada.
In this final volume of Planetes, Fee loses her fight against the dangerous mess created by the war in space. Disgusted by the stupidity of the whole situation, she decides she's done picking up other people's trash. Eventually, though, she decides that she can't just run away from the problem and decides to go back to work.
We also get to see what Hachi is up to on the Von Braun, which adds a bit of humor to offset Fee's more dramatic story. Though Hachi's speech at Jupiter is extremely inappropriate from a historical prospective (imagine if Neil Armstrong had started describing the good old days in the Air Force rather than talking about steps and giant leaps), it does make a good epilogue to Hachi's character and is a very fitting way to end the manga.
All in all, Planetes is an excellent addition to anyone's manga collection, either as a standalone story, a supplement to the anime, or, more commonly, both.
Planetes adalah karya fiksi ilmiah yang berlatar masa depan di mana manusia telah berhasil melakukan perjalanan ke luar angkasa dan mulai menetap di dalamnya, dengan semua perubahan yang menyertainya. Terlepas dari pekerjaan sebagai debris, Yukimura sensei memfokuskan pada karakternya. Semuanya dirancang dan ditulis dengan cukup baik, masing-masing tokoh memperlihatkan latar belakang, tujuan, serta kepribadiannya masing2 dan mengembangkannya dengan hati-hati seiring berjalannya alur cerita.
Gambarnya lumayan (meski menurut saya, gambar sensei saat mengerjakan Vinlad Saga lebih nendang hhe), rapih namun tidak terlalu menonjol tetapi berhasil mengatur dengan benar ruang di mana protagonis tinggal dan menyoroti momen klimaks, melewati banyak area yang menyentuh topik seperti kesepian, moralitas, eksistensialisme, dan bahkan rasisme pada panel tertentu. ARtwork sensei cukup berhasil menunjukkan reaksi orang-orang terhadap perubahan yang terjadi di ruang angkasa, semuanya dengan cara yang realistis baik dalam situasi yang dialami maupun dalam cara karakternya bereaksi terhadap mereka.
Akhirnya, saya sangat merekomendasikan karya ini kepada siapa pun yang tertarik pada karya yang menarik dan ditulis dengan baik (apalagi yg fans sensei hhe), bahkan jika pun scifi bukanlah minat khusus pembaca tertentu, karya ini layak untuk dinikmati.
What really got me interested in the series was the premise! Stories centered around space always catch my interest so I really wanted to read this one (I’m also excited to start reading Space Brothers soon). However, while the story started off strong with that first chapter, the overall story ended up being a bit lackluster. There were some really touching and beautiful moments, but I felt like there were too many moments where it seemed like the author didn’t really know what to do with the plot. It seemed like in his attempt to cover a bunch of really interesting themes he ended up not really developing any of them. Considering the fact that this is more of a human-centered story (it is a slice of life after all) I would have expected the characters to be much more interesting than what we got. Most of the characters just seemed very bland and underdeveloped.
While I didn’t enjoy this series very much, I can still appreciate what the author was attempting to do and can still enjoy the moments that were compelling in the story (and I look forward to eventually starting the author's masterpiece Vinland Saga ).
U četvrtom tankobonu imamo priču Fi koja mi je lično bila zanimljiva kao lik u prvom tankobonu i drago mi je da je boila prostora i priča koja je prati je dobra.
Na kraju se opet priča vraća na Haćimakija kao glavnog protagonistu koji putuje do Jupitera kao prva posada koja će tamo stići.
Da sumiram ceo ovaj serijal kao veoma dobar. Priče su u bliskoj budućnosti, futuristične i baziraju se na letenju kosmosom, ali vrlo prizemne i opipljive i ljudske. Uživao sam u pričama i mislim da celina koju dobijamo vredi čitanja. Mislim da je hronologija pripovedanja mogla biti za nijansu bolja, kao da je autor u talasima inspiracije posvećivao pažnju likovima.
Crtež je dobar. Crteži kosmosa i svemirskih letelica su sjajni. Malo sam imao problem sa likovima u startu, jer mi previše liče i nisam mogao da ih razaznajem, ali vremenom sam se i na to navikao. Način pripovedanje kroz kvadrate i kdariranje je odlično i autor postiže okretanjem stranica neka "filmska" iznenađenja i efekte.
Ostaje mala žal za nedostatkom hrabrosti Čarobne knjige da ovaj serijal koji je relativno kratak spakuje u neki tvrdokoričeni omnibus malo većeg formata jer ovaj serijal to definitivno zaslužuje.
Re-read of the whole series since I bought it as birthday gift for my friend (who luckly isn't active on GR so no risk of ruining her surprise) and I might as well read it again before it leaves my hands. It's hard to be objective about this one since it's first manga I read and book that broke some of my preconceptions about medium so I loved it this time around too but reading I realized something that might be unpopular opinion.
This is first physical copy of manga I read in long time and I actually prefer electronic version. In addition to being smaller than my tablet most of physical copies of manga I came across don't open fully easily, at least not without deforming it. So I'm sticking it to e-manga from now on.
“God is out there, hiding in the vastness of space, just watching our pain. I’m not so generous as to keep letting him do that forever. And if, as they say, God is love… …then we should become God. Otherwise, across the universe, we humans will never know true love.
Stunning conclusion to the manga, I loved the chapters about Fee and her family, I love the themes of love, rebellious spirit and humanity. Makoto Yukimura created an excellent story, it’s often saddening and too realistic to stomach but in its core there is a love to humans and to our drive to discover the world around and rediscover ourselves.
Prosto neverovatna priča! Koja se na jedan zanimljiv način, sa jedne strane, bavi ličnim željama i problemima viđenim očima glavnog protagonoste Haćimakija, a sa druge strane nezustavljivom i nemilosrdnom ljudskom potrebom za konstantnim razvojem i istraživanjem predstavljenom kroz Loksmitov lik. Ono što posebno dodaje draž celoj priči jeste sam crtež, prikazi svemira, dizajn letelica, kao i sami pojedini kadrovi su toliko dobri da sve ostalo bacaju u drugi plan. Jedina zamerka bi bilo to što Juri i njegova priča nisu dobili još koje poglavlje.
Loved the entire serie. Very well scientifically researched. Characters are poignant and funny at the same time although at some moments the scenario is too slow and complicated to my taste. Overall a very good manga about space exploration and space junks management, which is a real life issue that will need to be tackled by humanity in the very short future if we want the manga to stay on the realm of science fiction.
🪐 Finalan broj, Haćimaki na omotu, a veći deo priče je sve samo ne on - 😅 🪐 Fi je za mene sada drugi glavni lik ovog serijala. Znala sam da je predodređena za neki odličan zaplet i drago mi je što je njeno vreme nastupilo. 🪐 Oličenje neophodne hrabrosti da se učini prava stvar. 🪐 Među najemotivnijim epizodama sva četiri broja. 🪐 Baron 💘
🪐 "...ali nisam mogao nikako da prestanem da volim ljude" Volim kako je priča privedena kraju.
Planetes Volume 4 brings the series to a powerful and reflective conclusion, tying together the themes of ambition, loneliness, and the quest for meaning in a way that is both satisfying and bittersweet.
Having now finished the series, I can see how Yukimura’s fascination with the concept of freedom, and the search for meaning in unforgiving environments, clearly transitions from the cold void of space to the brutal world of Viking warriors.
Gençlik dönemlerinden beri dönüp dönüp okuduğum serilerden biri Planetes. Belki bizim oğlan da heves eder okur diye aldım Türkçe versiyonunu ama yine ilk okuyan ben oldum. Yukimura-san'ın anlatım tarzını çok seviyorum. İçimizde akan nehri, uzayın derinliklerine incelikle bağlıyor. Bana da hala yaşama enerjisi veren ender şeylerden birini hayal etmemde yardımcı oluyor.
Gittikçe yakınlaşan yabancı bir varlık gibi, uzayın derindekiler, ve gittikçe uzaklaşan tanıdık duygular.
Häh? Ei ole totta, että tämä päättyi näin. Siis mitä kummaa lopussa tapahtuu? Miksi ei saatu nähdä enempää Jupiterin tutkimusta? Todella tympeä tapa jättää loppu avoimeksi ilman kunnon vihjailua siitä, mitä tapahtuu jälkeenpäin. Mutta koska lukijalla on tässä tapauksessa lupa päättää, miten hahmoille kävi, tulkitsen, ettei siinä kovin onnellista jälleennäkemistä tule.
Planetes adalah seri sci-fi tentang antariksa yang diceritakan dengan sangat membumi. Alih-alih fikus pada plot spekulatif atau teknologi yang wow, Planetes lebih fokus pada karakternya. Dengan lancar, Makoto Yukimura bercerita tentang trauma, krisis eksistensial, cinta, dan mimpi yang dialami oleh karakter-karakternya.
Sebenarnya bukan berarti aku tidak suka luar angkasa.. tapi entahlah rasanya saat ini aku tidak bergairah membaca hal2 yang disajikan terlalu macho. Yes, this series dikisahkan dengan kisah yang macho, tapi bagus kok,, wkwk.. kita ini bagian dari angkasa :D
Superbe quatrième tome qui conclut ce chouette manga. J’ai beaucoup aimé les réflexions amenées par l’auteur. Le développement des personnage est intéressant, on les voit évoluer au fur et à mesure de la série.
How is it that I like literally every other character except the main character? Is he supposed to be a character that the reader dislikes? I just sort of feel like he goes on this typical character arc and that's boring. Plus, he's kind of the class clown type and it comes across as really immature at times. I do like the series as a whole. Makes me wonder what's up there that we don't yet know about.
Planetes Review
5/5 stars
This will be a spoiler free review. Onto the review!
For all those who don’t know, this is the debut manga of the same mangaka who wrote Vinland Saga. I’ve been slowly working my way through Vinland Saga, but I’ve been watching the anime first, so it’s taking me forever to get through the series. So I decided to go back and read his short, debut manga series, that way I can still read something of his while I’m waiting for the next season of Vinland Saga.
This is a 4 volume manga series set in the near future where people now live on the moon. It follows this group of people who have the job of collecting space junk. So basically it’s about space janitors. And honestly, it was great. This isn’t the sort of series where you get invested long term. You just read this and learn interesting facts about the realities of space travel.
Makoto Yukimura always makes sure he’s done his research for everything he writes, and it shows. I’ve never spent any time studying space travel, and the science of going to space, but it’s clear he has. Every volume ended with so much fascinating information about the people who have gone to space. Every single detail he researched and included in here really made this short series come to life.
The main plot is that one of space janitors hopes to eventually go on the first mission to Jupiter. He spends a lot of time training and preparing for the mission, while also trying to do his job. His teammates are very passionate about collecting space junk, but all he cares about is going to Jupiter. As per usual with Yukimura’s stories, the characters feel very complex and real, which helped to keep me connected to the story.
If you’re looking for something about space travel that doesn’t just handwave away the science and hope you won’t notice how little research the author did, this is definitely a series I can recommend for that. It’s slice of life, but on the moon. Space isn’t super scary anymore. Space is a 9-5 janitorial job, that just so happens to be a bit more exciting and dangerous than your typical earth janitorial jobs.
I can’t really say much else since it’s so short. If this sounds interesting to any of you, definitely give it a try. I had a blast reading this, and it made me even more excited for the next season/volumes of Vinland Saga. Maybe if the anime doesn’t update for a while, I’ll have to read the manga faster to see what happens. This did not have the intended effect of keeping me occupied until the anime updates. It made me more anxious to know what happens. Oh no…
Update: How am I just now finding out there's an anime of this? Adding that to my very long list of things to watch.
Note: I used the omnibus covers for the image for this review, which is why there are 2 of them, rather than 4.
Que bela obra! Ao longo dos quatro volumes, Planetes questiona vários conceitos da sociedade humana, dissecando nossos sentimentos mais profundos. É uma narrativa sequencial belíssima, extremamente fotográfica, bem desenhada e com um argumento interessantíssimo.
Os conceitos, expressamente a Síndrome de Kessler, são extrapolações de um cenário de exploração espacial ainda deveras incipiente, qual seja, o nosso cenário. O paralelo que o autor traça entre o astronauta e o marinheiro, e as inúmeras metáforas associadas, nos faz entender a solidão, a tristeza e o senso de aventura relacionados à vida dessas pessoas.
O último volume, entretanto, é o mais fraco de todos eles. Seu final é repentino e sua discussão política e social se define como inacabada. Isso me surpreendeu negativamente. Porém, acredito que a leitura da obra vale a pena. Ao longo de toda a jornada, muita coisa é questionada e apresentada, nos fazendo refletir sobre o papel do homem não só no planeta Terra, como em todo o Universo.
This series is a research-worthy material. This is one of the most thought-provoking manga series I've read. Even though this sets in the future, the issues that Yukimura-san explores in this series is so relatable. There are a lot of info-dumping about the world of Planetes at the end of these volumes, but I couldn't find myself read it now. It would be better to get the physical copy to really explore the wonders of space and humanity. The characters have grown a lot, especially Hachimaki, he's not the same naive person as before. Not to mention the artwork is almost perfect, I had a fantastic experience reading this, this is definitely a 5-star series!
There are a lot of manga about space exploration or space adventure, but among them Planetes stands as one of the best if not the best of the best!
This series is well written with really good character development and really good artwork, especially on the space ships. Oh the space ships are also drawn in a very sensible way, in near future, those are what our space ships gonna looks like!
The issues and intrigues written in the plot are also make sense, relevant, and suitable for a near future settings.
This is one of manga series that I would recommend to anyone.
Erinomaista scifimangaa. Pidin kovasti koko sarjasta ja siitä millä tyylillä se eteni keskittyen hahmoihin. Ilahduin, kun tässä viimeisessä osassa paneuduttiin enemmän Feen elämään, sillä hän oli alusta asti lempihahmoni.
