| Based on 7 volumes:
Hm.. 2001 Nights is a realistic fiction that depicts what might happen if humans as they are now were to go into space. 2001 Nights's main focus is on the on building a general feel and opinion towards space travel rather than necessarily aiming to entertain or tell a revolutionary story. For example, it starts from a more local focus of what would it be like if humans were to colonize and extract the resources from surrounding planets and asteroids. Through all the problems that occur and all the conflicts that arise between humans (battle over resources and habitable planets), how unchanging human behavior will even be brought out into space. Then somewhere around volume 3-4, the story focuses on the discovery of an anti-matter planet around the outreaches of Pluto. Using this... Earth somehow develop a hyperspace drive and the story gets to go even further into the outreaches of the universe.
I am one who is always fascinated with the possibilities of the never ending universe around me. At first, although a bit slow paced, the earlier short stories were quite interesting because they were feasible and imaginable based on our current knowledge. Then.... they started introducing all these weird sci-fi things like weird alien life on other planets... and I wasn't sure what to think about this manga anymore. I could no longer view it as a realistic attempt to model what human space life would be like. Rather than focusing on the journey (because they are in hibernating sleep) they talk about all the human wonder about exploration and the interaction with each other in these hypothetical and entirely fictional possibilities (no longer a realistic fiction).
I don't know... there are some good ideas in this manga and space is a wonderful topic. But I feel that there could be much more interesting stuff to be written about this topic than what this manga shows. It never really focuses on any particular character and it relies on our observing the fates of the characters in their situations to get some sort of effect across. This manga is well done but I just began to lose interest in the stories and subject material of space that it focuses on.
Overall, it feels like it has the potential to be a great revolutionary point of view on hypothetical human space travel, but then it gets too sci-fictiony, too fast. Also, there aren't any memorable characters that really held me on to reading the potentially great story.
