Series Synopsis
Yukari Morita (voiced by Eri Sendai) has come to the Solomon Islands to search for her long-lost father. Hoping for closure, her life instead changes in a way she never expected.
The Solomon Space Agency, the SSA, wishes to pave the way for commercial space travel. Yet every one of their launches has been a colossal failure. They are now desperate to salvage what they can to achieve their goal. Even if that means resorting to unconventional tactics.
Yukari has a run in with the Agency. And for them, the high schooler is the godsend they had been searching for. The SSA offers to help Yukari look for her father. In return, she will become their newest astronaut.
Taking the deal, Yukari manages to find her father. As well as learn of the existence of her younger sister, Matsuri (voiced by Hitomi Nabatame). A development which couldn’t have made the SSA any happier. For they had found their second crew member.
The world catches wind of the two youngest astronauts ever. And no one is sure how this long shot gamble will pay off. Least of all Yukari.
