Captain Momo's Secret Base Volume 1 Paperback – July 16, 2024

Love the art, the writing, and (when it’s colored) the color! So good - if you like fun sexy storytelling, buy buy buy!

First of all the artwork is beautiful. The book also prominently features an attractive naked lady.Captain Momo is a woman alone in a space ship about halfway to it's destination on a ship that mostly takes care of itself. Without much to do she reads books, talks with and plays with her cat and she has apparently long ago given up wearing clothes seeing as it's just her on board her ship. She seems to be the kind of person who would chose a lonely life even if she wasn't stuck halfway on a years long interstellar trip, but even she sometimes finds the crushing loneliness of her situation a burden. Expect a lot of wry introspection.In other words she will try to keep her sanity with the help of her feline friend. But in another MST3K reference wondering how she eats and breaths is actually very important to the plot. Well, what plot there is in this very slow paced series.

One of my favorite authors/artists right now. Very unique and beautiful works. This one is quite good.

Really cool manga, great artwork and the little stories on every chapter are nice to read, its very short but it worth the while

This weird, it's pretty much just a naked woman and her cat surrounded by junk on a spaceship. The slice-of-life of life aspects aren't really cute, cozy, heartwarming, or introspective enough to be a selling point. The heroine's constant nudity is pretty "casual" (she doesn't have things like leg stubble, so there's some level of gaze, but she's not really in provocative poses or angles).I was kind of bored with it, but at least there was no romance, so I can't say I disliked it.

Just a note that in the Kindle version the pages are not in the original manga’s order of right to left (swipe left to turn the page), but instead the Western comic order of left to right (swipe right to turn the page). You still read the speech bubbles on the page in the standard right to left order expected from manga.

Extremely high quality artwork (even though the MC stays nekkid almost the full time 😅 ) and the writing is 1st class SciFi. However, this mangaka only writes about a volume every five years and never has "finished" one of his titles. So, if you're waiting to read more of the adventures of Captain Momo, you might have a long wait, if ever. Still highly recommend for the over all quality of the book. Reads like a short story from the golden age of SciFi.
