Aldnoah.Zero Season One

In the wake of a devastating war between Earth and the Martian colonists of Vers, a fragile peace is shattered when a young princess from the hostile empire falls to Earth. This four-issue manga adaptation from Yen Press, based on the 2014 anime, follows the ensuing conflict as an Earth boy and a Martian princess become entangled in a struggle over the powerful Aldnoah drives—the key to Vers’s advanced mecha technology. Illustrated by Pinakes, the series distills the anime’s first season into a concise, action-driven narrative that explores themes of class, war, and the cost of peace.
