About the series
A five-issue manga series from French publisher Ki-oon, Candidate for Goddess adapts the first story arc of the sci-fi franchise, introducing a young boy chosen to pilot a giant mecha against an alien threat. The series, published in 2007–2008, is most closely associated with creator Yukiru Sugisaki, whose detailed art and character-driven storytelling bring the academy setting and combat sequences to life. Though a brief entry, it stands as a faithful, self-contained introduction to the larger universe for new readers.
