Synopsis
Mediocre space student Nux turns to illegal work, then faces a costly alien proposition.
Saying bye-bye to Earth and blasting off to school in space was a dream come true for Nux. But no one told him how mediocre he would seem stacked up against the brightest minds in the universe. With lackluster grades that could never afford him a scholarship, he's forced into illegal part-time work just to pay the bills. But when a handsome alien propositions him with an offer to make his money problems disappear, he realizes it comes at an astronomical price. (Source: Tappytoon)
