I know I ask for a lot of recommendations and I apologize for that but this community has given me a massive list of books/manga/anime to check out and I’ll probably be going through it all til I die.
My question is if anyone has any recommendations on sci-fi that is Mars related. I’ve always had a fascination with Mars and enjoy stories whether it is from the golden era or more modern. I have some books called Red/Green/Blue Mars that I haven’t read and I really want to get Jack Kirby’s The Face on Mars.
I have the Martian Chronicles but haven’t read it yet. One great Bradbury story is Mars is Heaven if you haven’t read it check it out.
Anyway, any recommendations would be appreciated
ARIA
(In all seriousness, you probably won't like it. But it technically is. Technically. And so is Cowboy Bebop.)
Why wouldn’t I like it?
ARIA is a manga series from the early 2000's set on a far future Mars that is so inundated with water from terraforming that the only inhabited city is Neo Venezia, and the main character is a girl named Akari who immigrates there to become a gondola helmsman. In manga circles its often mentioned along with Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou (Record of a Yokohama Shopping Trip) as a story that takes a fuck long time to go basically nowhere at a walking pace.
If you think it’s worth a read I’ll add it to my list
I sincerely do not think you'd like it.
I loved Aria. It is such a sweet story.
