Calling all sci-fi and manga buffs – if you haven’t yet delved into the profound and imaginative world of Planetes, now’s your chance to experience it like never before! This critically acclaimed manga, revered for its ability to make you ponder everything from cosmic intricacies to the human condition, is getting a cool upgrade. Dark Horse is set to reissue it in a deluxe hardcover format, so you can enjoy the series in a beautifully revamped design that’s practically a collector’s dream.
Book 1 of the Planetes Deluxe Edition will hit the shelves on July 29, ensuring you can kick off your immersive journey into space and philosophical musings just in time for summer reading. And if that wasn’t enough, Book 2 is already on the horizon with a release slated for December 2, making it the perfect holiday gift for any manga or sci-fi fan who loves a good deep dive into existential themes mixed with stellar storytelling.
For those who prefer a bit of hands-on comparison, earlier editions of Planetes in paperback omnibus formats came out back in 2015–16. While Volume 1 is still available for around $25, Volume 2 has been playing hard to get on Amazon for a while. This deluxe reissue is a fabulous opportunity to finally complete your Planetes collection in a way that’s as visually appealing as it is intellectually stimulating.
Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to the series, these new editions promise a fresh and immersive way to revisit a manga that doesn’t just entertain but also inspires reflection. So pre-order your copy via Amazon and prepare to add a gorgeous piece of sci-fi literature to your library.
