APOSIMZ GN #5

(W) Tsutomu Nihei (A) Tsutomu Nihei (CA) Tsutomu Nihei

From acclaimed mangaka Tsutomu Nihei, the creator and artist behind BLAME! and Knights of Sidonia, comes his newest Sci-Fi epic. The artificial celestial body Aposimz measures 120,000 km in diameter. Most of its volume is its core space, which is covered by a superstructural shell. Fifty centuries ago, the people who lost the war against the core lost their right to reside legitimately on Aposimz, and were stranded on the frigid surface. They face rampant Frame Disease and aggressive auto MATOns which appear frequently on the Ruins Level. Yet even so, somehow the people survive.

SPACE BATTLESHIP YA MATO 2199

(W) Michio Murakawa (A) Michio Murakawa (CA) Junichiro Tamamori

2199 will be Earth's final year-unless the voyage of space battleship Ya MATO can succeed! The alien Gamilas have devastated the biosphere, determined to reshape our planet into their own new home. But a third force has intervened, as an emissary from the distant Iscandar has given humanity the plans for a faster-than-light drive. If the Ya MATO can battle its way through the Gamilas fleet to reach Iscandar, their technology can heal the Earth-but the odds against us are literally astronomical... The classic 1974 anime TV series Space Battleship Ya MATO became a fan phenomenon in North America under the title Star Blazers. Now the epic tale of a legendary WWII battleship retrofitted as a spacecraft on a mission to save Earth has been remade by the generation of Japanese creators that grew up inspired by it-with staff including Yutaka Izubuchi (Cowboy Bebop: The Movie), Nobuteru Yuki (Kids on the Slope), and Hideaki Anno (Evangelion)! * Double-sized English edition of manga contains two Japanese volumes. * Afterword by ani MATOr and Ya MATO expert Tim Eldred. * Bonus section on the mecha of Ya MATO!
