Beautiful saga

Ashinano-sensei creates a gentle future world where human influences are slowly fading, but where life moves on in it's own strange way. Alpha, the robot female protagonist, is the lens through which we watch the idiosyncratic (and everyday) wonders and mysteries that happen along the way. This series is sweet, slow paced, and filled with delightful artistic longing for things like sunsets and spaceships. One of my favorite manga.
