The manga gained significant recognition both in Japan and internationally, spawning an acclaimed anime adaptation that ran for 99 episodes from 2012 to 2014. The series has been praised for its realistic portrayal of astronaut training and space exploration, often incorporating real NASA procedures and scientific accuracy into its storytelling.
