About Planet Boy is a cozy sci-fi slice of life following the everyday adventures of celestial beings drifting through space. What began in 2016 as a simple webcomic is now returning as an independent animated series, expanding the original universe with new stories, characters and short films while preserving the same charming atmosphere that defined the comic. The series blends comedy, wholesome moments and occasional emotional episodes, using astronomy as both its setting and its language. Every character is inspired by a real celestial object, and their personalities are loosely based on astronomical concepts. Instead of saving the universe, they simply try to understand one another. Sometimes that leads to heartwarming moments. Sometimes it leads to complete disaster.
A cozy sci-fi slice of life comedy about celestial beings drifting through space, getting lost, making friends, causing problems, and slowly learning how to exist around one another.
Planet Boy is loosely inspired by 10199 Chariklo, an asteroid with a ring system.
Curious about whether beings similar to himself existed somewhere in the universe, he decides to leave the comfort of his isolated home for the very first time.
That decision immediately becomes his greatest regret.
His first encounter is Carina, a cheerful girl inspired by the Carina Nebula. Unlike Planet Boy, she absolutely loves meeting new people. She talks constantly, gives names to everything she finds, becomes fascinated by every little object... and refuses to leave him alone after deciding his nickname should be Phoebe.
He hates it.
She keeps calling him that anyway.
What follows is the story of two celestial beings who have spent their entire existence completely isolated, experiencing social interaction for the first time from opposite extremes.
Planet Boy believes books and silence are all anyone could ever need.
Carina believes everyone should become friends immediately.
Neither of them actually knows how relationships work.
They're both equally terrible at it.

📖 COMIC ARCHIVE
📅 Original Comic Release: October 2016
You can still read the older version here:
[Webtoon]
[Tapas]
[Shueisha]
[Medibang Portuguese]
The comic represents the roots of the project.
Some ideas may be expanded, rewritten, reorganized or adapted for animation, but the original version remains part of Planet Boy’s history.
Old orbit.
Still canon to the heart, if not always to the timeline.
Planet Boy is mostly told through short, self-contained stories.
The animated series will include:
🪐 short animations
🌟 mini episodes
☄️ comedy skits
🌌 emotional scenes
🔭 astronomy-inspired stories
🎞️ occasional longer episodes
You can watch most shorts on their own.
But if you follow the orbit long enough, things start connecting.

🌍 WORLD CONCEPT
In this universe, celestial objects are alive. Like gijinkas.
Planets, asteroids, comets, moons, nebulas, stars and other cosmic beings drift through space with their own personalities, fears, habits and very questionable social skills.
Every character is inspired by a real celestial object.
Their designs, personalities, relationships and conflicts are loosely based on astronomy, mythology, scientific classification or just the general absurdity of space being space.
Nothing here is completely random.

She gives nicknames to everything.

And after deciding Planet Boy should be called Phoebe, she simply refuses to leave him alone.

🌌 ATMOSPHERE
Planet Boy is primarily a cozy sci-fi slice-of-life comedy.
The tone moves between absurd humor and soft friendship moments with space-themed nonsense and emotional episodes about loneliness,
identity, miscommunication and the terrifying process of learning how to care about people
Despite the cosmic setting, this is not really a story only about space.
It is a story about coexistence.
About people who experience the world differently.
-
🔭 ASTRONOMY LOGIC
Planet Boy uses astronomy as both setting and language.
Characters are inspired by real celestial objects, and many jokes or story concepts come from actual space facts.
Examples:
🪐 Asteroids and comets often have simpler black and white palettes.
🌈 Nebulas are colorful and may carry pieces of their real nebula in their design.
🌍 Planets and satellites usually have colors connected to their real appearance.
☄️ Meteors are connected to material, movement and impact.
🌌 Celestial classifications affect how characters see themselves and each other.
Science is respected here (is also occasionally bullied for comedy)

🎭 CHARACTERS
Not heroes. Not villains.
Just celestial beings trying very hard to understand each other and failing in extremely specific ways.
🪐 Planet Boy / Phoebe / PB
The center of the story.
An isolated celestial being inspired by 10199 Chariklo. He values silence, books, personal space and being worshipped slightly more than is healthy.
🌸 Carina
A cheerful girl inspired by the Carina Nebula. She is affectionate, curious, emotional and completely unaware of the concept of boundaries until life punches her with character development.
☄️ Bernard
A small comet child based on Barnard D/133401 with too much energy and not enough brakes. He loves running, following people around and accidentally becoming everyone’s emotional responsibility.
🌑 Aludra
Planet Boy’s loyal companion and possibly the only being he admits he likes without immediately regretting the emotional exposure.
🛸 Roswell
Carina’s UFO companion. Protective, suspicious and absolutely not a fan of Planet Boy’s treatment of Carina.
🥜 Hektor / "Peanut"
An asteroid based on real asteroid trojan 624 (that looks a lot like a peanut lol) with a love for Earth transmissions, peanut butter commercials and singing things nobody asked him to sing.
📺 Hitomi
A satellite based on ASTRO-H who receives transmissions and somehow becomes one of Planet Boy’s favorite beings, which is shocking for everyone involved.
🌌 Abell 31
A beautiful nebula idol who understands emotions better than most of the cast and accidentally becomes Planet Boy’s rival, mirror, problem and occasional voice of reason.
🖤 Kepler
An exoplanet based on Tres-2b who does not reflect light, but absolutely reflects chaos. Sharp, intense, strange and one of the few people who can irritate Planet Boy in a way he tolerates.
And more celestial disasters orbiting soon...

social isolation and fear of others
mental health
difficulty understanding boundaries
friendship and emotional growth

social hierarchy
