This was probably one of my least favorite among Moto Hagio's manga, but still a great story with amazing art overall. It does not have the sophisticated story-telling of "Barbara" or "Silver Triangle" but a simpler plot. Sei is a young girl living on Earth and dreaming of Mars. In reality she is a Martian, a white-haired red-eyed human who was born on Mars and is seen by other humans as a dangerous alien. The whole plot deals with Sei's desire to go back to Mars, to her people and culture, with the difficult feelings of a population who was de facto genocided and colonized.There are some twists and turns, especially regarding Sei's friend, who is the one who decides to take her to Mars, and while I truly loved the human element of it, I found the plot underneath it not particularly exciting! Still very enjoyable, and still a touching story of someone who had to leave their land after colonization.
