I think that a lot of people are getting the focus of this manga completely wrong.
It isn't about global warming or humanity dooming itself. That's just the background for the story. It's about Louis and his achievement. It's about the miracle of his survival. It's about the Hotel and what it represents: the fufillment of a 27 million year old promise

Simply put, phenomenal piece of work. its a must read
This one-shot is brilliant. The artwork is beautiful, the story tight and compelling. It also carries an important message - and is truly touching, as well. Sci-fi at its best, as well as manga at its best. A brilliant work.
louis' emotional struggle for survival, existence and recognition was a very realistic journey to attain humanity.
his continuous need to "repair" himself and "become smarter" was very metaphoric, because we, humans, spend so much time chasing perfection,security and other far-fetched ideals but in the end we discover that we never gain anything out of doing this; infact, louis' increase in intelligence made him more aware of his emotions.
this is a story about our eternal struggle to be remembered, the eternal struggle of finding your place in society.
the eternal struggle against loneliness
and finding our "purpose" in life.

i really didn't get the impression that the mangaka was trying to force global warming down my throat. i felt that it was more of a story about the struggle for life, remembrance and the long loneliness of a seemingly endless wait for change. Louis exhibited a touch of humanity himself which, though subtly expressed, made his character rather endearing.
rather than being preachy i think the mangaka just needed any excuse to wipe out the planet.

Reading the earlier comments about the global warming message - I get the feeling those readers may have completely missed the story of the "person" who against all odds, over an unimaginable period of time, stayed unwaveringly true to the memory of it's most important people in "his" life.
I rarely give 10 ratings, but this definitely deserves it.

Some of you people are too serious. Propaganda my ass. Global warming wasn't the main message in the story. yblees summed it up. Imo, for a one shot, it drew emotion, it provoked thought, it delivered. Nuff said.
I wasn't expecting much from this oneshot but when i started reading it i felt that the author made a great story. I recommend that fans of sci-fi manga read it.
This story reminds me a lot of old school 60s Asmiov kind of Science Fiction. Nice Short Story with a short epic tale of human demise. For everybody who likes the kind of sci fi that lacks all action + boobs +monsters but with a portion of thought, i highly recommend
The oneshot: HOTEL should actually win an award (If it hasn't already that is.,)
It is the most beautiful, phenomenally outstanding manga I have read till date.
The art work, the irony involved with Louis Armstrong's song was just brilliant.
The other stories included in the volume should just be excluded, they don't make much sense. Frankly I don't even remember reading them.
Highly recommended. <3
