I dunno either. Those who read the manga said the ending is what makes the manga worth every page of it. Apparently MAL is missing the genre 'thriller' for it because that's how the readers describe it. The PV did seem to give thriller vibe to it.

I don't think there is any romance subplot in it. Not from what I have seen in comments from those who have read it.

Inori Minase earns a main role in this one. Now I'm looking forward to this even more! 3 more months of waiting, then.

I know nothing about this manga. Since the source material has finished publishing, I'm hoping they would not squeeze the entire story in a single cour.

From my past experience, you shouldn't. Because I am one of the people indirectly responsible for many MU entries.

Anyways, I have gone ahead and glanced some of it. I can confirm that there are 9 main characters (5 guys and 4 gals) and one of them is the 'MAIN' main character (i.e. Kanata).







I stopped at the moment things started to get exciting (which seemed rather laid back in the beginning chapters) so, things may escalate soon. This could actually be a good watch! So, I am gonna stop myself from spoiling any further and wait for the anime to have some good experience with anime-only's! ;)

I know next to nothing regarding the original source, in other words the manga, of this show but I’ll watch purely because of its high praise. Inori Minase is a big plus, too, and the PV has piqued my interest!

Looking forward to this!

No, it actually has not one but at least two subplots of romance happening.

The manga was really good, hopefully the adaption lives up to the source material.

Heard praises for this series despite not having as much depth as other acclaimed space manga like Planetes and Uchuu Kyoudai. The manga is completed though so I'm expecting a full adaptation.

This one has no harem, right ?
I frown at recent installments of Persona and Trails of Cold Steel that introduce harem-like elements in the story.

We need more JRPGs like the past Lunar series, where there are multiple romantic pairings in the party other than for the protagonist and main heroine.

while it has a romance subplot its kind of nonexistant and its 1:1

The romance is pretty light, if at all, but the intrigue in discovering who set the crisis the students set off, as well as the student's origins, will be a roller coaster ride.

The manga series is over, but the diverse characters, and their backgrounds become a good device for the story. Not only are we treated to the surprises of the characters and their families, we'll learn the backstory of their entire civilization.

If the anime does well and produces a full adaptation, then I'd expect a sequel manga to pick up where the story ended, let's say, 5 years later.

Yeah, I read the manga when Viz offered it as a free read, and was on tenterhooks throughout the read. Expect a lot of cliffhangers, but usually worth it.
