The manga goes where edgy mainstream sci-fi wishes it had the fortitude to venture. We're talking VanderMeer and Cixin and Dick all mixed in with Peele's brand of politically-aware, existentially-fraught dark humor. People attach their heads to rockets to serve as targeting systems; the genetic engineering virtuosos of Venus eat babies; the most efficient form of assassination is arguably of either the "space karate" or "massive kinetic bombardment" varieties. There's a lot. It's like Tim Burton's Seveneves.
