Synopsis

In the year 2063, mankind's domain stretches across the vast expanse of the universe. Eight students from Caird High School, along with a young child, embark for an exciting interstellar camp on the planet MCPA, which is located nine light-years from their home. Among them are the brave and athletic Kanata Hoshijima and the cute and bubbly Aries Spring.

However, once the students arrive at MCPA, a strange ball of light starts chasing them. This mysterious sphere engulfs the students and sends them to a harrowing fate: a remote area of space located 5,012 light-years from safety. Hopelessly lost and quickly running out of resources, the students' only chance of returning home proves to be aboard a nearby abandoned spaceship, where their desperate fight for survival begins and the dark truths surrounding their deadly excursion are slowly revealed.

This is hands-down the best sci-fi manga I have ever read. All of the characters are great. It basically has an ensemble cast, so each character gets pretty equal time. It was a quick read, but it did not feel like it was too short, and more importantly, it wasn't too long because I read it all in one night. I just couldn't put it down. I went to bed at 4 a.m. and paid dearly for it the next day at work (it was worth it). My favorite character was probably the high I.Q. genius guy, and the only flaw with the story, is ...

I really don't know how this manga has so high reviews.
The only thing more difficult to know than the question before is where to begin with the problems of the series.

What if we make a history with ships that have limitless power? What if that alone make the whole plot stupid? Well, in this case we have Kanata no Astra.
This is by far the worst manga I'd ever read and I'm not kidding!
We have no consistent history, we have a new Deus Ex Machina at least per volume and NONE of those are explained
If the whole story isn't shit enough, we have this final, that ...
