銃夢火星戦記 [Ganmu Kasei Senki] #1

Two children stand hand-in-hand on a rust-colored Martian landscape, their white garments catching the wind as a city burns under billowing black smoke in the distance — it's a striking, quietly haunting image to open this Battle Angel Alita: Mars Chronicle volume with. Yukito Kishiro brings the desolate beauty of Mars to life right from the first page, setting a tone that balances innocence against an unmistakably dangerous world. Fans of sweeping science-fiction saga will find this Kōdansha Evening KC Deluxe edition a compelling starting point.
