Overview

By the year 2086 the united world has established a settlement of 200 people on Mars. Among them are four young teenagers – Elinn, Carl, Ariana and Ronny – who were born on the planet and consider themselves ‘Martians’ rather than ‘Earthlings’. Through the eyes of this core group (later joined from Earth by Urs Pigrato, son of the much-disliked boss of the Settlement) we see the unfolding of extraordinary events: first a plan to close down the Settlement; then, through Elinn’s mystical bond with the planet, an entire shift of humanity’s view of itself in the universe.

Naota is a normal boy who kills some time with a normal girl by a stream that flows underneath a bridge. Nothing unusual happens in this town. The fact that Haruhara Haruko crashes into the main character with her Vespa a short while later and subsequently hits him over the head with her Rickenbacker 4003 bass guitar doesn’t really make any difference to any other day here. The at first glance unconnected, bizarre events that don’t seem to follow any pattern whatsoever don’t change anything about Naota’s boring life, either – because nothing incredible ever happens in this town.
