One's an apathetic loner, one has his head in the stars...and they have no idea how much they need each other. The coming-of-age buddy comedy manga that became a surprise hit in Japan.

Winner, Freeman Book Award for Young Adult Literature. Named top shonen series of the year in the Kono Manga Ga Sugoi! Japanese industry poll.

Kobayashi just can’t focus--not on studying, not on work--and the adults in his life think he's in danger of becoming a worthless dropout. Then, one day, a strange new presence arrives in his class: an energetic and naive kid named Uno. Kobayashi saves Uno from getting scammed, and that close encounter launches a new friendship. Uno's definitely a space cadet, but Kobayashi can't help admiring the way he floats through life, and before he knows it, he might start feeling his feet lift off the ground, too...

This hilarious and inspiring manga series from debut artist Inuhiko Doronoda was nominated for the 17th Manga Taisho Award and broke 600,000 readers in Japan!
