About the series
A hauntingly introspective mecha series from Viz Media, Bokurano: Ours follows fifteen children who are tricked into piloting a giant robot to defend Earth—only to discover that each battle comes at the cost of the pilot's life. Running from 2010 to 2014 across eleven issues, this English-language release adapts Mohiro Kitoh's original manga, known for its grim psychological weight and subversion of the superheroic robot genre. The series matters for its unflinching examination of mortality, guilt, and the price of heroism, making it a stark, memorable entry in the mecha canon.
