Books like Planetes Omnibus, Volume 1

Planetes is an excellent sci-fi slice of life manga about a group of space janitors living in space and doing their jobs, all the while dealing with life things like space sickness, loss of loved ones, existential questions and even space terrorism. It's funny, occasionally deeply philosophical, a bit naive and absolutely beautiful thanks to Yukimura's impressive art style. As an added bonus it features a Russian character Yuri who is not a terrorist, billionaire, criminal or otherwise an asshole, but is actually a great person and one of the best characters in the book. As a Russian person myself who gets sick of those national stereotypes in every kind of media I was really happy to see a positive representation for once. Overall, Planetes is an outstanding book, and will be a great choice for the fans of life in Space genre.
