About the series
A warm, slice-of-life sci-fi manga series from Ki-oon, Aria: The Masterpiece (2020–2021) follows the daily adventures of Akari Mizunashi, a young gondolier-in-training on the terraformed planet Aqua. Originally serialized in the early 2000s, this 7-issue edition collects the beloved story by Kozue Amano, celebrated for its gentle, atmospheric art and tranquil exploration of a Venetian-inspired world. The series matters as a definitive, lovingly restored version of a classic that defined the iyashikei (healing) genre, offering readers a peaceful escape into a future where wonder and kindness prevail.
