Aqua 1: To Mars and Gondolas

Alternately: "From Pair to Single in the Seas of Aqua"


Aqua. The terraformed Mars of the future.

Undine. A female gondolier who guides you.

Akari is going to Aqua to be an Undine.


This "prequel" to Aria, is about the beginning's of Akari Mizuhashi as she works towards being a full fledged Undine for Aria Company. Although it is about her, it is also about the world of the future, how Aqua is a sort of simple place compared to the Earth or "Manhome". How the residential Mars Cats are very mysterious, but very intelligent.

But in the end, it is really a peaceful and soothing ride reading this manga. The world is so vast and the information so sparse, yet it still satisfies my curiosity enough.


It's quite unfortunate to know that the Aria manga did not get officially finished in English. However, I'll try my best to find what remains. I already found the 2 Aqua volumes in my local library, so that's a start.

Next volume: Onwards to being an Undine!
