From Viz website Washing windows on a space colony hovering 35,000 meters above the earth is a dangerous job. Mitsu, a young window washer, knows this all too well. His father fell off the Ring System in an accident. Now, Mitsu's coworker Kageyama collapses on the job. Trying to save Kageyama, Mitsu inadvertently endangers his life. In recovery, Kageyama learns that exposure to UV rays has taken a toll on his immune system. He's forced to choose between his job and his health.
Some points: - borrowed from ILL - the dangerous consequences of the job. - I can and should only read this series one volume at a time.
Bottom line, interesting series. I probably won't reread, though.
From Viz website Mitsu’s a window-washer in the Ring System, a civilization constructed after Earth was abandoned and turned into a nature preserve. His father died on the job five years earlier, and Mitsu takes his work seriously. Unfortunately, not all of his coworkers feel the same way, and they begin to resent the care and diligence he puts into clearing a vision of Earth for the residents of the Ring. One day, while staying late to check on his colleague’s work, Mitsu loses radio contact. Will he meet the same fate as his father?
Some points: - borrowed from ILL - Mitsu continued with his daily life and job. He volunteered to take charge one day when his senior took a day off. - His coworkers didn't like that very much. - some good news. - there are stronger hints on why Mitsu's father's partner quit after the accident.

Bottom line, it's a slow series - slice of life.
