Synopsis

The human race has one year left to live. Aliens known as the Gamilas have attacked Earth, poisoning it with radioactivity and driving humans underground. As humankind grows sicker by the day, their final hope is the Space Battleship Yamato–constructed from secret plans and equipped with advanced technology. Its mission: to reach a distant planet and bring back a cure to save humanity. Will the ship and its crew rescue the Earth in time?

I think this is a fun manga to read if you go into it with appropriate caveats. Without any spoilers, these are as follows:

- It is hard science fiction with dated humor (this doesn't mean it doesn't work though). You have to accept what is happening and going on at face value.

- The story is not complete. Probably due to how it was serialized and its release alongside the show version, the three parts are not themselves complete nor does it conclude in an overall story arch. Story 1 kind of "wraps up" but is missing quite a bit at the end - it gives ...

Besides being obviously outdated, which can't be helped, it feels weak even accounting for that.
It could be nice for an easily impressed kid that loves space exploration, but then the manga format and the length doesn't help much on it being lively for anyone younger than your grandpa.

"Battles" feels off and dead, it doesn't capture the movements too well.
