Twin Spica and Saturn Apartments @ Pop Dose

I did something a bit different this week at Pop Dose and wrote about two thematically similar manga titles, Twin Spica V2 and Saturn Apartments V1.

Asumi (Twin Spica) and Mitsu (Saturn Apartments) are similar characters, both living with the loss of a parent and trying to understand their own roles in the world.   Yaginuma and Iwaoka’s stories are wonderfully linked by their views of growing up and of living up to our parent’s dreams and legacies.  Both Twin Spica and Saturn Apartments exist in this fantasy setting but they tell their stories on incredibly heartfelt levels.  In both Asumi and Mitsu’s characters’ eyes, you can see the innocence and promise of tomorrow.
