Description
From gomanga:
Twenty five years ago, the alien Givers came to Earth. They gave the human race the greatest technology ever seen--four giant towers known as Ladders that rise 36,000 miles into space and culiminate in space stations to power the entire Earth. Then, for reasons unknown, the Givers disappeared. Due to the unique alien construction of the Laddertop space stations, only a skilled crew of children can peform the maintenance necessary to keep the stations up and running. Back on Earth, competition is fierce to enter Laddertop Academy. It is an honor few students will achieve. Robbi and Azure, two eleven year old girls who are the best of friends, are candidates for entrance into the Academy. They will become entangled in a dangerous mystery that may help them solve the riddle of the Givers...if it doesn't destroy the Earth first!
Someone keeps changing the number of volumes to 3 (ongoing), and I think you're a bit confused. Only 1 physical volume of this series has been released as of this post and Seven Sea's website, although projecting this title to run for at least three volumes, as not even announced the release dates for any volumes past 1, let alone released them.
As for my comments about the title itself, I've always been a fan of Scott Card's novels, and the story telling in this manga is on par with his prose work and very compelling to read. He portrays the young cast very realistically, a feat which in my opinion, is very seldom achieved.
