'''Twin Spica''' (''Futatsu no Spica'' in the original Japanese) is a [[seinen]] manga series written and illustrated by Kou Yaginuma, that ran between 2002 and 2009. It was adapted as an anime by [[Animax]] Asia in 2003.
An accident caused the Japanese space program's manned rocket, the Lion, to crash in to Yuigahama. [[Plucky Girl|Asumi Kamogawa]], who was one year old at the time, survives the incident, protected by her mother [[Missing Mom|Kyouko]], who is badly burned and falls in to a coma.▼
Five years later, Kyouko dies without ever having regained consciousness. After the funeral, Asumi meets a [[Spirit Advisor|strange man]] wearing a lion head from a mascot costume and playing a harmonica. Although she doesn't believe him at first, he is the ghost of one of the astronauts killed in the Lion incident. Between her teacher and her father telling her that dead people become stars, and talking with Lion-san, she decides to become a "[[Malaproper|rocket driver]]" when she grows up.▼

During the rather unusual [[Threshold Guardians|entrance exam]], she meets [[Rich Bitch|Marika Ukita]] and [[Meganekko|Kei Oumi]]. At the same time, her childhood friend [[Unlucky Childhood Friend|Shinnosuke Fuchuuya]], who has followed her to the school, meets Shuu Suzuki, and the five of them eventually form a group.
