My oh, my, is there a lot of character development in this volume of Astra. We also finally go back to their home planet and see how the folks are holding up with the kids being gone. I was wondering when the story would flip back to earth, but Kenta Shinohara surprised me in that the scene with the parents didn’t play out like I thought it would at all.

032 - I'm back mother fuckers! Yeah, I know it's been a while, and I won't be offering any apologies... okay, sorry! Anyway, if you don't follow my reviews on the site, then that's probably for the best for this episode because I'm going to cover the things I've been reviewing, both the good and the bad!
Comic Books and Manga covered in this episode:
Typically, in manga, when a group of kids is thrown together, they usually become chums. It takes a volume, but it’s so commonplace that it stands out when that doesn’t happen.

You can always tell a good story when it fills your imagination with ideas. Upon reading Astra: Lost in Space, I wanted to expand the idea, invent new aspects of the story and go on an adventure of my own. That’s probably weird, but that’s how my mind works. It’s not that I didn’t like this story, in fact, just the opposite, it was just a great idea that made me wish I had thought of it first.

031 - Well I finally got an episode done! I guess that landmark 30th episode was just too much to top right? Huh? Wasn't it? Fucking whatever. After I rant, I do cover some current news that will probably excite some of you! It's about Vertigo Comics so just put on your jizz shorts and get ready! Now, I know I usually cover comics, but I've been reading nothing but manga this week in an effort to clear off my desk... so I'm only talking about manga. Enjoy!
