Planetaria Year 303. 
This is the story of my journey through space with Brother to find a planet where he might finally be able to sleep.
 
The story created by Sakatsuki Sakana has a unique atmosphere, a mixture of philosophical concepts, such as “farewell” and “sorrow,” and a sci-fi world view realized through illustrations depicting this sad and quiet world in a beautiful, yet somewhat gentle, blue tone. This 256-page book includes the two illustrated stories “Fuminshounen tsukini iku (Insomniac Boy Goes to the Moon)” and “Tobias tachi no tabi (The Journey of Tobias and His Brother),” as well as the manga and illustrations of “Hoshi Tabi Shonen (Star Travel Boy)” which was serialized on the PIE International Comic Art website. Sakatsuki Sakana's simple yet emotional stories and illustrations will surely fascinate not only her fans but also those who are new to her work.
