Slice of Life

Sum it up in a Sentence:

ARIA follows a group of young women working as gondoliers on a future Mars covered in water, as they enjoy life and experience the changing seasons and accompanying social events.

Main Description

On the planet Aqua lies the watery city of Neo Venezia, a tourist hub in which people travel around in gondolas. Akari Mizunashi is a gondolier in training and also an employee of Aria Company. She gets to meet all sorts of people as she takes them on the gondola rides, from friendly mentors to special individuals, all this admidst the beautiful scenic backdrop of the entire city.

Note: The Japanese manga was first published in two volumes under the name AQUA (1-2), after which (for reasons unknown) it changed name to ARIA yet continued as volume "1", which may be confusing.
