In Earth’s future, all humans have evacuated into space to preserve the dying planet. Instead of living on Earth, all humans now live around Earth in a man-made ring structure, occupying apartment buildings in three levels organized by social status. Considering the fact that right outside their homes is space, how can one ever have clean windows? Enter the window washers, those who risk their lives to leave the comforts of their controlled atmosphere to enter space and clean the windows of people rich enough to afford them.
Mitsu, a hard-working orphan, has just graduated school. Mitsu is training to be a window washer like his missing father, who, years ago, mysteriously disappeared during a lower-level window washing job. Was his rope torn by the raging wind or did the beautiful site of his old home planet have something to do with it?
Saturn Apartments by Hisae Iwaoka is a fascinating science fiction story, filled with interesting and well-developed characters. The art is just as unique as the plot. If you love science fiction or are just looking for something out of the ordinary to read, then make sure to pick up this book!
