About the series
Set in a far-future where humanity clings to existence aboard a massive generation ship, Knights of Sidonia is a hard sci-fi manga series from Glénat that ran from 2013 to 2016. Written and illustrated by Tsutomu Nihei, the story follows Nagate Tanikaze, a young man raised in isolation who becomes a pilot in humanity's desperate war against the monstrous Gauna. The series is notable for its unique blend of post-apocalyptic survival, mecha combat, and Nihei's signature architectural, often claustrophobic art style. With its 15-issue run, it stands as a modern cult favorite for fans of thoughtful, visually striking science fiction.
