Knights of Sidonia

In the far future, humanity clings to survival aboard the massive generational starship Sidonia, hunted by the monstrous, shapeshifting Gauna. This 15-issue manga series, published by Egmont Ehapa from 2010 to 2017, follows young pilot Nagate Tanikaze as he rises from a forgotten hermit to defend his people in high-stakes mecha combat. Created by Tsutomu Nihei, Knights of Sidonia blends his signature architectural scale and hard sci-fi with relentless action, exploring themes of genetic engineering, identity, and what it means to be human in a closed, desperate society.
