Elija2 recommends some manga

Saturn Apartments (Dosei Mansion) is a manga set in the distant future where Earth has been evacuated and mankind lives in a large ship floating just outside the atmosphere. The main character, Mitsu, is a young boy whose father disappeared while cleaning the outer windows of the ship. Mitsu takes a job as a window cleaner to learn more about his father and the planet below.

This manga is simply wonderful. The art is beautiful, the characters are fleshed out, and the writing is great. Even though there isn't much of a story in the beginning, I kept reading because I was so engrossed in the lives of the characters. I highly recommend you all read it.

I did too, but I actually thought that the manga was better. The manga has a bit more story in it.

Does it end the same?

I forget, how does the OVA end?

The girl dies.

Yeah, I won't spoil it for you but the manga ends differently.

Hakudamashi · September 26, 2014, 10:02:09 AM

Well I ought to get to that sometime.

Elija2 · September 26, 2014, 10:05:17 AM

Yeah, you oughta. Shame on you for coming into my manga thread and talking about watching an OVA instead.

Hakudamashi · September 26, 2014, 11:19:38 AM

I can't help my severe distaste for reading. :U

Elija2 · September 26, 2014, 11:26:23 AM

I thought you liked reading manga.

Hakudamashi · September 26, 2014, 04:13:07 PM

Manga is such an awkward thing for me.

Elija2 · September 26, 2014, 04:15:22 PM

Care to explain why?

Hakudamashi · September 27, 2014, 02:14:26 AM

I like manga cause of my hardon for 2D art, but I also hate manga cause of all the goddamn reading.
It's not so bad with subbed anime cause at least stuff and things are moving to keep me engaged.
But the whole point of a manga is to sit down, focus, and read everything.
Comics are above manga cause it has colour, Manga are above books cause it has images, but all 3 are at the bottom of my priority list of things to do when I have time because reading.

I didn't know you hated reading so much.
