About this ebook

!--StartFragment--Earth has been abandoned as a nature preserve, and the human race now occupies the Ring System, a gigantic structure that surrounds the planet. Mitsu has just started working as a window washer, a dangerous job that five years earlier led to the loss of his father. As Mitsu struggles with being the new guy—making mistakes, struggling to keep up, handling petty workplace resentments—he also discovers the simple pleasures of befriending his coworkers, enjoying time off and getting to know his absent father through the eyes of his colleagues. All of this is part of growing up in the cramped urban quarters of the Saturn Apartments.!--EndFragment-- -- VIZ Media

Ratings and reviews

If I went to space training camp. I would volunteer to put on adult diapers. Before I can put on a spacesuit. I won't have any problem the nurses changing my diapers. I would feel like a young adult baby in my mindset. I would be known as an Astronaut Boy. Or, short for Astro Boy. Maybe Astro Kid, or Astro Lad. I would also train in underwater too. So it can help me with zero gravity in space. To me, Learning, training, and doing baby steps are always a good thing. Don't go to a space program training without lots of learning and training first. That is a lesson I need to remember.
