A review by foxyfoxyfoxy
Knights of Sidonia 1 by Tsutomu Nihei
A gorgeous piece of meditative, atmospheric science fiction.
Tsutomu Nihei-sensei truly has a fascinating understanding of place and setting, and because of this his comics have great power to transport you to the truly fantastical yet believable worlds which have sprung from his great imagination.
Reading this manga felt like watching a really great atmospheric art house movie (aka my favorite type of movie), like Dune 2021 (I read this before Dune 2021 came out) or Blade Runner or Arrival. This is the first manga I read that felt truly (as cliche as the term is) like a work of art . I look forward to diving into the rest of Tsutomu Nihei-sensei's impressive catalogue.
