In space, even the smallest fragments can change a life forever.
In the near future, space travel is routine—but dangerous debris still threatens every mission. Planetes follows Hachimaki and his fellow crew members in the space debris section, a group tasked with cleaning orbit while wrestling with big dreams, personal struggles, and the harsh reality of life beyond Earth. Grounded, thoughtful, and beautifully human, this sci-fi classic explores ambition, isolation, and what it truly means to chase the stars.
