2001 Nights is a nice anthology of deep-space exploration stories delivered in a western style of comic art. The quality reminds you of the silver age of comics, but there is great detail in both expression and scenary.
While the different stories have no apparent relation or continuation to each other, there is a steady progression in theme throughout the volumes. The first few start with more contemporary space flight achievements or deal with events that take place within our own solar system. The later stages involve more far-reaching destinations and are more fanciful in imagination. There is a great array of concepts and ideas read more

Short:
2001 Nights is hard science fiction done right. Its interconnected stories are endlessly creative, painting a picture of a future that seems both fantastic and realistic. The universe that Hoshino constructs isn't just the best in manga sci-fi, but one of the best in science fiction in general.

Absolutely phenomenal.

Longer:
Anime and manga have had a very long and tight relationship with science fiction, from Astro Boy and Gundam to Gurren Lagann and Steins;Gate. Yet few series have tried tackling the more Western (Asimov, Clarke, Heinlein) genre of "hard" science fiction, which takes a more realistic approach to storytelling, even if the end result is about something read more

The art of this manga isn't my cup of tea.

The stories are interesting enough. Although each chapter is a unique story, there is a conection with them all. Some characters and stories are developed in other chapters. There is also a sense of progression. As the story progresses, we can see the evolution of humanity in space.

The themes revolve around moral issues and human feelings. How can I forget the lonely AI sent into the deep space, the poor children on their uncertain journey or the brief but life long love in a blackhole.

I found it enjoyable. I don't like all the science read more
