Trouble in the Stars

           I heard about this book back in December 2020. I was curious to read it for the depiction of Trouble as a nonbinary character. In that time, though, I've also started watching the anime To Your Eternity (不滅のあなたへ) based on a manga by the same name by Yoshitoki Ōima. The similarities between the two are striking (although I believe coincidental). So if you like the anime or the manga and a similar story but in space, I recommend Trouble the Stars.

There is one big difference between the two stories. Namely, the lack of death. In the Japanese story the shapeshifter learns to copy the first few times by taking on the form of dead companions: a wolf, a boy (their main form), a bear, and a little girl. Trouble, on the other hand, seems to have come into being knowing how to transform into different creatures — not just that he can — but the actual blueprints of them. Given that Prineas only has 256 pages to tell Trouble's story, it makes sense that he comes into being knowing more than his manga counterpart.
