"In a Tokyo of the not-too-distant future a young girl looks up to the stars with melancholy in her heart and hope in her eyes. Thirteen-year-old Asumi Kamogawa's whole life has been tied to those stars; her future may very well be among them. And she is not alone... Asumi is just one of many young people with ambitions to become a member of the first class admitted to the Tokyo Space School. In this first volume Asumi is put to the test to determine if she has what it takes to get into this elite space academy. Her struggles do not begin in the classroom or at the test site, though. First Asumi has to convince herself and her father that she ultimately belongs amongst the stars."--P. [4] of cover.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Good submitted by sandylib123 on July 29, 2011, 4:17pm Very good

A good bet. submitted by jbpuckett on June 18, 2012, 7:41am For some reason, little girls with big dreams are a common subject matter in manga. Twin Spica is no exception. Asumi is going to space school, and nothing, not even her own anxiety is going to stop her. With the help of her "imaginary" friend Lion-san, Asumi embarks on a quest to see the stars up close. A good beginning.
