Aria: The Masterpiece, Volume 1 by Kozue Amano
5.0
Akari is a young girl who leaves the comfort of Earth for Aqua, the water planet formerly known as Mars, to be a gondolier in Neo-Venezia, a city modeled after Venice, Italy. When she arrives, she becomes an apprentice gondolier at Aria Company under the guidance of a "prima" gondolier, Alicia. This is a sweet, slice-of-life series that is full of humor and heart. Akari is an optimistic protagonist that is a joy to follow in her everyday life. The art is gorgeous as well. If you're looking for a wholesome, laid back manga series, this is perfect for you.
For those curious, about how the Masterpiece series differs from the original Aria series:
The Masterpiece printing of this series contains seven volumes. This first volume contains the two volumes of Aqua, the prequel series to Aria. The other six Masterpiece volumes contain the twelve Aria books. "Special navigations" or special chapters may not be in the same place/order as they were in the original series.
