Synopsis

On the planet Aqua, a world once known as Mars, Akari Mizunashi has just made her home in the town of Neo-VENEZIA, a futuristic imitation of the ancient city of Venice. The technology of "Man Home" (formerly Earth) has not entirely reached this planet, and Akari is alone, having no contact with family or friends. Nonetheless, the town, with its charming labyrinths of rivers and canals, becomes Akari's new infatuation, along with the dream of becoming a full-fledged gondolier. Reverting to a more "primitive" lifestyle and pursuing a new trade, the character of Akari becomes both adventurous and heartwarming all at once. (Source: ADV)

Aria is black-and-white ink art at it highest level -- beautifully drawn, and matched by few manga artists around.

It's content has wide appeal from the young children to adults, nothing controversial and unsuitable for any age group, highly recommended for Manga 101.

Both are slowly paced slice of life series. Due to its brighter atmosphere and the moé appeal of the characters, ARIA is a good choice for helping people get used to the genre before introducing them to YKK with its more mature and melancholy insights.
In the eyes of the innocent, the world is always full of wonders.
