Space Brothers

A manga about an older brother pursing his childhood dream of becoming an astronaut by following in his younger brother’s footsteps.

We did a Saikyo Selections on this recently.

Space Brothers is a feel good family friendly series. Watching our main character, Mutta, stumble through his astronaut selection process is extremely hilarious. Chuya Koyama has spot-on comedic timing that accentuates the heartfelt dramatic moments. My only reservations for recommending this manga is that it’s long running and still not finished.

Available from Kodansha and also has a great anime adaptation.
