Goodreads Description:
Series Description: Part science fiction, part fantasy, and completely engrossing, this provocative manga stars sensitive high school student Alice Sakaguchi, who has a recurring dream that she's part of a team of alien scientists on the moon! She doesn't really believe it, until new evidence arrives. Now even her eight-year-old neighbor is acting strange! Alice's dreams of being a lovely woman living on the moon are a respite from her job babysitting the holy terror Rin! When he goes one step too far, she slaps him, causing him to fall off a balcony and into a coma. When he awakens, he seems changed--and strangely connected to Alice. Meanwhile, at school, Alice meets a pair of boys with an oddly close relationship. Soon she learns they too have dreams--of living on the moon!
Later:
I like the premise but felt the actual story was all over the place and transitions way too abrupt, more so than what other (little) manga I've read. From reading other reviews, people mention that it makes more sense if you've watched the anime series and that the series gets better as it progresses. I'd probably read the rest of the series if it came my way but I wouldn't look around for them on my own.

i actually quite enjoyed this book. although the art is from the mid-1980's and thus look of the time, the characters are likable (except for the bratty kid) and the premise is pretty unusual. the two main characters that are introduced so far that seem to have supernatural powers are intriguing, and i'm hoping that the other characters have interesting powers as well. it looks like the second volume is pretty hard to find physically, but i've added it to my list of books to keep on the look out for and i may pick it up on kindle at some point.
