Space Brothers
Chapters 188-240 by Chuya Koyama Review
With each span
of chapters the series improves upon its already excellent base. It excels in
every aspect. One thing I had not noticed before was just how varied the
character designs look. Each character in the cast is distinct in both visual
and personality ways. Koyama’s artwork is
really gorgeous and detailed and seems to keep improving still. The only issue
I have at this point is the pacing which drags a touch which may be off-putting
to some. That being said this is a rather trivial problem and Koyama makes the
pacing work to the comic’s advantage.
What really
shines in these chapters is the character development and growth of both the
main and ever expanding supporting cast. This is something the series as a
whole is great at but I have only really come to appreciate the full breadth of
it recently. Is the fight to save the ISS. It really drives home the message
about the power of true friendship and is anchored by the lingering subplot
about Sharon’s deteriorating health. It brings out a wide range of emotions in
the reader. In conclusion I would say Space Brothers is a pleasure to read and
is well worth the time investment.
