Kitasei combines a science fiction thriller with a searing exploration of women’s friendships across time, race, ethnicity, and politics.
With Earth increasingly uninhabitable, a group of 80 women of childbearing age are sent into space with vials of semen to recreate human life on a distant planet.
Kitasei reveals the growing conflicts among the women, which intensify when one of them dies while trying to repair the ship. Asuka, the beautifully drawn central character, feels insecure about her place among the women and worries that, as their anxieties intensify, she might be targeted as the traitor in their midst.
