Dosei Mansion (a.k.a Saturn Apartments) is on the surface just another slice of life with a wacky twist; This time they're in a giant ring surrounding the Earth (the Ring System) because the Earth was turned into a nature preserve. Just on that it doesn't seem like much to follow the every day life of a window cleaner didn't seem all to exciting. That was my attitude going in, and after finishing the manga, I can say that I was totally wrong. Beneath the slice of life guise that Saturn Apartments holds in a beautiful story that all of its readers can relate to. The storyof Saturn Apartments and the characters within the manga are where this series shines. Even though this is set far in the future, the characters share the same problems and emotions as anyone sitting here reading this review. How the characters grow from the first chapter is beautiful, and Hisae Iwaoka beautifully crafts the character growth in a way that everyone can understand. Overcoming problems like mistrust, social pressures, dreams, hopes, finding yourself and even the social strata of the Ring System.
How down to Earth this series is for being in outer space is phenomenal. A great feel-good manga that speaks to its reader.
