Jun 13, 2020This story gives a needed glimpse into the background of Senku. Volume one focused much more on Taiju and his potential relationship with Yuzuriha, and Senku played a supporting character roll. I think Senku's dreams will definitely resonate with young readers, and it's important that they see being an astronaut requires a lot of commitment from them, even as children. And, if there was any doubt about the role Science plays in this series, volume two dispels them. I'm not an expert in Science by any means, but some basic Googling confirms that the formulas and components of reactions are correct, but the quickness of reactions themselves are exaggerated (which makes sense - would we be entertained watching characters sit around for pages waiting for something to happen?). The interesting storyline coupled with this inclusion of Science makes this a no-brainer purchase for school libraries. Read Full Review

Nov 26, 2018I enjoyed this second volume even more than the first. Real answers are being delivered, there's action, and the science-fiction elements are backed up with real science. It's clever enough for adults, but young adults will love--and learn from--it too. Read Full Review
