R Is for Rocket
R is for Rocket, a collection of sci-fi short stories originally written by Ray Bradbury himself and adapted as a manga by Hagio Moto! A lovely combination that really should require no introduction if you're a fan of sci-fi or manga. The anthology contains 8 short stories, including "The Lake," which incidentally was Bradbury's very first short story that he sold at the age of 22 for $13.75 (which would be around $230 in today's standards if the internet's not lying to me). Overall, the selection's quite good, as the volume starts and ends very strong, as well as allowing Hagio to work with a range of emotions.
