About Planetes Deluxe Edition Book One
In 2075, working-class astronauts live an unglamorous and dangerous life. The Moon and Mars are both populated, with people living in challenging conditions. But for some, space is still an epic adventure, as plans take shape for the first-ever crewed voyage to Jupiter. The goal of navigating to the gas giant is harvesting much-needed helium-3 from its atmosphere, opening up the entire solar system to humanity.
Astronaut Hachimaki “Hachi” Hoshino dreams of breaking out from his famous father’s shadow and joining the Jupiter mission. For him, being an astronaut is about cleaning up space, not exploring its vastness. Aboard the DS-12 Toy Box, Hoshino is joined by pilot Fee and fellow crewmate Yuri. Their task is clearing a hundred years of debris circling the world at eight kilometers per second. Amidst a dangerous and unappreciated job, Planetes reveals that the lives of those who fly amongst the stars are filled with the drama of family, romance, and ambition.
Take to the stars and see the life to be lived amongst them when Planetes Deluxe Edition Book One arrives in hardcover for $49.99. The 528-page (7″ x 10″) Deluxe Edition will be available in bookstores on July 29, 2025, and comic shops on July 30, 2025. Pre-order now from TFAW, Amazon, Barnes and Noble or your local bookstore, or visit Comic Shop Locator for more details and stores near you.
