Review: Astra: Lost in Space vol. 3

By Dustin Cabeal

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.

Review: Astra: Lost in Space vol. 2

By Dustin Cabeal

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. Even with some of the groundwork being laid out in the first volume, our group of teens lost in space aren’t the best of friends. There’s some that get alone better than others, and two of them still haven’t integrated into the group at all.

Review: Astra: Lost in Space vol. 1

By Dustin Cabeal

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.
