Some rarities I've been after for a while! 2001 Nights, Seraphim and Opus.
Still looking for Planetes Vol 2 in the old paperback format.

Solitary Gourmet is a wonderful read.

Does anyone have any good recommendations for more hard sci-fi like 2001 Nights or Seraphim?

Or anything else with the pace and grace of Jiro Taniguchi?

Upgrade Soul is genuinely so good. If anyone reading this who’s into sci-fi and hasn’t given this a read…do it.

I've got a copy in my tbr pile. I'm not a gigantic sci fi head so just having a mental block about it and the illustrations a bit...scrappy? That's the best way I can explain myself. I've got the soundtrack to accompany it and fully try to get around to this given the praise

I get it, it’s not the prettiest art but I think it’s a very intriguing story that makes up for it. It’s not sci-fi like Star Wars so I think it’s a good starting point for someone not super into the genre.
