In the 2070's, mankind has established a mining base on the moon and
dispatched men to explore Mars. The first manned mission to Jupiter is also
in progress. As a result of this interplanetary activity, space debris is
increasing and its collection has become a new profession.
In the 1st volume of Makoto Yukimura's Planetes, we meet Yuri, Hachimaki,
and Fee. Hachimaki's dream is to buy his own spaceship. He thinks he can
earn money quickly by joining the crew of the first expedition to Jupiter.
Yuri lost his wife in a space travel accident, and became a debris collector
out of a desperate desire to discover some remembrance of her. Fee takes
great pride in her profession and works very hard, having left behind her
husband and young son on earth.
In a dark and cruel universe, each of these space junkers grapples with his
or her own personal problems.
