In Tokyo, in the not-too-distant future, a young girl looks up to the stars with melancholy in her heart and hope in her eyes. 13-year-old Asumi Kamagawa's whole life had been tied to those stars - her future may very well be among them. And she is not alone. Asumi is one of the many young people with ambitions to someday head off to space for Japan's first manned space mission. Before lift-off, like any true astronaut, she must show the right talent, drive and skill to overcome the odds and pass numerous physical and mental trials to enrol in the elite space academy.

Stand in for whole series
A bit melodramatic sometimes, towards the end it started feeling like a soap opera. But overall I enjoyed it a lot. The training sections were fun, and I really liked the sci-fi elements. I thought the way people talk about space missions and peoples objections to it was handled realistically for a near-future setting.
