+A short series—quick to read, very entertaining—and it keeps you wondering: “So… what happened after that?”

+
+The premise is simple but told through a fascinating narrative device: a spaceship carrying middle and high‑school students crashes, and it’s assumed there are no survivors. Years later, space scavengers stumble upon the wreck and piece together events by reading one of the kids’ journals they find on board. What really happened? Is everything on the diary true? And, beyond that… what would the reader have done in the same situation? Who —or what— is the real monster here?
+
+The story follows the writer’s perspective so the space scavengers piece together the events (along with us, the _real readers_) by reading the journal as they investigate the ship and keep uncovering clues. Can't say more without spoiling the story!
+
+I loved it, is one of those series that being short makes it even more enjoyable, and it's capable of telling so much in _a few_ pages. Totally recommended, more so if you like the sci-fi / thriller genres.
+
+The physical edition (in Spain) it’s excellent, even including full‑color pages! My only nib is that it doesn’t follow a standard format (neither kazenban nor tankōbon) so finding a protective sleeve was a bit of a challenge—but the trade‑off is that the binding doesn’t swallow any of the artwork, so I’m happy to let that slide.
