Manga Goddess and pioneer Keiko Takemiya’s space opera Andromeda Stories concludes this month with the third volume in the cosmic trilogy on sale now. Any fan of science fiction or Grand Guignol storytelling should rush out and pick up a copy. But I’m gushing, and I fear my love for Takemiya’s classic will sound like nothing more than the ranting of a company shill. So I’ll allow Katherine Dacey of PopCultureShock.com to speak for me:

“A totally awesome mixture of sci-fi paranoia . . . shocking plot twists, and taboo-busting romance. Takemiya’s artwork is flat-out gorgeous; her gloriously old-school character designs, dynamic layouts, and meticulous attention to detail put her on equal footing with manga gods Osamu Tezuka and Hiroshi Hinata.”
