Planetes (Original Japanese Version)

Tanabe, a new recruit to Technora, arrives at the International Space Station. She's assigned to the Debris Section. There, she meets Hachimaki and his buddies. Unfortunately, the Debris Section is looked down upon within the company.

The Debris Division must deal with a difficult specimen: a piece that Hachimaki failed to collect three years ago when he'd first joined the company.

Tanabe writes a will in case something were to happen to her in space. She briefly considers using Hachimaki's will as a reference but is disappointed at its lack of substance. What should she leave behind when she dies?

The son of the INTO chairman arrives to learn about debris collection. Annoyed by his snobby behavior, Hachimaki attempts to turn him away, but he relents when the others convince him to play nice with the chairman's son.

Hachimaki's team gets a long-awaited vacation on the Moon.

Hachimaki is roped into helping Tanabe find an apartment. When they arrive at her chosen apartment, it turns out to be a sketchy building with horrible neighbors.

Hachimaki is at the lunar hospital to receive treatment for a leg wound. There, he encounters a girl named Nono. Tanabe seems a little upset that the two seem to have hit it off. Hachimaki soon learns the truth about Nono.

The crew returns to the Space Station, where they hear a rumor that Fee had found a better position in another division.

Hachimaki's mentor, Gigalt, visits the Debris Section to give guidance on security. But after solving an incident together with Gigalt, Tanabe learns something shocking about him.

Yuri Mihairokov is often seen decorating the Toy Box with carnations or staring out into space. One day, Hachimaki learns that Yuri spends time each week in the Records Section looking through debris files. There's something he's looking for.

Temara, an engineer from the small nation of El-Tanica, visits Technora to sell spacesuits. Impressed by his work ethic, Hachimaki's team, along with Claire, decide to help him with his application exams.

The Space Defense Front, a terrorist organization opposed to space development, attacks the Moon. The ISPV-7 is its next target.

With the Toy Box destroyed, Hachimaki returns to his home on Earth. Yuri and Tanabe pay him a visit.
