Overwhelmed by the screams of the dead echoing from the distant battlefield, Lena is confronted with the dark truth of the Legion—as well as the impending doom approaching the Republic of San Magnolia. One by one, the members of Spearhead squadron fall, leaving behind nothing but memories and scrap metal. Is there anything Lena can do for Shin and the others from deep within the walls of the Republic? Or does she have no choice but to simply watch as they’re sent to their deaths?
The art was really good! And enjoyed the story. Shame this isn't going to be continued. I heard the artist had some health issues. I might check out the anime and hope it actually covers enough of the whole story that I get some sort of resolution. Either that or I'm going to have to try the light novels.
I heard this Manga's serialization stopped due to the poor health of the artist, which is a shame in two ways - one being that the art is still absolutely gorgeous, and second, in that this volume introduced so many new plot elements that left me wanting more. I sincerely hope that somehow they find a way to continue this Manga as its absolutely amazing.
This is a much heavier manga than I first expected. It takes seriously many aspects of war and inter-racial relations than most discussions in general, let alone manga. I really look forward to seeing how this story plays out.
Edit: Oh no, I see that the series was cancelled due to the artist's health. I'll definitely grab the light novel series then.
I am enjoying this series well enough. I wouldn't say I'm totally sucked in just yet, but I find Shin to be the most interesting character/background so I've went ahead and ordered the next 3 volumes. I think there is a lot of potential with where the story world building can go.
