In this anime-style graphic novel, Hakata Soy arrives at an outer-space school dedicated to training young astronauts. Soy's arch-nemesis sends a robot to the school to destroy him and generally wreak havoc. Laking a cohesive narrative, with lots of perspective shifts and many loose ends, the volume leaves plenty of room for future books to develop and explain Hakata's story.
