Boku no Chikyuu wo Mamotte, also known as Please Save My Earth, is by Saki Hiwatari. This manga is a sci fi, adventure-ish story with a dash of romance and a planet's worth of drama...in fact, make that two.(Sorry about the poor grammar/spelling)

STORY (9)
Due to a cast of characters with current and past lives, PSME can get a bit confusing. All those names and relationships can make you dizzy. So why should anyone read this if it can be so confusing? The answer: the story is AMAZING. The various names of the characters, as well as their relationships with one another can be hard to keep track of in the beginning, but I assure you that if you stick with it the payoff is well worth the effort. PSME also has strong messages concerning war, betrayal, envy, and (of course) love. Nature as well as psychic powers are prevalent throughout. PSME tells a story that pulls at your heartstrings.

ART (7)
The art in PSME is outdated. It's old, and the characters have those poofy hairstyles. That's just how it is considering the manga was drawn from 1987 to 1994. But it grows on you:-) I really thought the mangaka's use of nature(mostly flowers) was really pretty in the backgrounds, especially as she got more skillful. I don't think that the art detracted from the manga at all. In fact, I believe that it actually helped in portraying the story as beautiful and surreal.

CHARACTER (8)
The strength of PSME resides in its complex characters and relationships. I especially liked the well rounded growth of most, if not all, of the characters. Sometimes the flashbacks start off slowly, but soon you find yourself understanding (and even liking) the characters. The main character, Alice, is quiet, shy, kinda whiny, and has low self-esteem...RAGE!!!...I'll be honest...I didn't hate Alice, but I was finding it kinda hard to like her. Thankfully, Alice gets a lot more likeable as she grows throughout the series...but she never quite makes it to the top of our love meters. But that's actually okay, because the characters' relationships and the plot are what makes this manga noteworthy.

OVERALL (9)
My final thoughts on this series? If you like sci fi dramas then PSME is the story for you. With a strong story, interesting character relationships, and a surreal mood, PSME is sure to work its magic on you:-)
