“CORE EXPOSED” Outer space, the far future. A lone seed ship, the Sidonia, plies the void, ten centuries since the obliteration of the solar system. The massive, nearly indestructible, yet barely sentient alien life forms that destroyed humanity’s home world continue to pose an existential threat. Nagate Tanikaze has only known life in the vessel’s bowels deep below the sparkling strata where humans have achieved photosynthesis and new genders. Not long after he emerges from the Underground, however, the youth is bequeathed a treasured legacy by the spaceship’s coolheaded female captain. Meticulously drawn, peppered with clipped humor, but also unusually attentive to plot and structure for the international cult favorite, Knights of Sidonia may be Tsutomu Nihei’s most accessible work to date even as it hits notes of tragic grandeur as a hopeless struggle for survival unfolds.

In volume two, the Sidonia has engaged a new type of Guana. This armored-type is strangely aggressive, and most of the young pilots who have confronted the monster are not prepared for this change in stragedy. Rookie pilot Nagate Tanikaze has even fewer completed flight-hours, but that does not prevent him from devising his own plan of attack when his squadron is in danger. Feeling the stirrings of a bond that is precarious at best given that humanity itself is in peril, he ignores orders to save a colleague left behind. And then upon returning to the Sidonia, the history of the Guana is revealed to Tanikaze, not long before battle and a rival's jealousy leaves him alone in space again.

Heretofore unwilling to communicate in all but the most zero-sum fashion, humanity's implacable nemesis attempts to interface in what can only be considered a gruesomely familiar shape and form. Meanwhile, some of the deepest secrets of the Sidonia also come to the fore as revealed by the resident talking bear, err...the dormitory den-mother.

Mentre continuano le misteriose macchinazioni all’interno della Sidonia, il ruolo di Nagate è sempre più centrale nelle missioni che i Difensori intraprendono per contrastare i gauna. Passato, presente e futuro si intrecciano in un susseguirsi di scoperte e cambiamenti nell’appassionante quarto capitolo dell’ultima serie di Tsutomu “Blame!” Nihei.

La nuova serie di Tsutomu “Blame!” Nihei si fa ancora più intrigante. È successo qualcosa a Kunato, che ora non è più il freddo ragazzo di prima. Questo cambiamento lo porterà a compiere qualcosa di assolutamente imprevedibile! Nello spazio, intanto, gli scontri con i gauna stanno diventando via via più difficili da vincere. La lotta per la sopravvivenza del genere umano è sempre più dura!

La situazione sull’asteroide è critica: i gauna sono quasi riusciti ad annientare la forza d’attacco della Sidonia e ora, con l’apparizione della sfinge della vite, il successo della missione diventa ancora più improbabile! È forse giunta la fine per la nave seminale oppure Nagate e i pochi piloti rimasti in vita riusciranno a fare quanto, allo stato attuale delle cose, sembra impossibile?

Nuovo appuntamento con la serie più recente di Tsutomu “Blame!” Nihei, il più geniale degli autori giapponesi! Un volume che mischia la fantascienza tradizionale con quella moderna, tra mostri alieni, ingegneria genetica e battaglie nel freddo vuoto! La sopravvivenza della razza umana non è mai stata così a rischio come in questo momento…

If humanity’s latest bold experiment, Tsumugi Shiraui, can be said to have a mother, it would be the Hawk Moth, which provided the placenta. Their fateful encounter on Planet Nine will spell the end of one of them.

Nagate Tanikaze was a homeless teen living in the depths of a space colony with a passion for simulation games and stealing rice. Now he is the lead fighter pilot, protecting said space colony from a race of shape-shifting space giants!

The time has come! The Sidonia are about ready to set foot on the planet they wish to inhabit. But before they can embark on this mission they must make certain that the planet is not teeming with Gauna.

When a state-of-the-art warship is dispatched towards Lem, the system's sun, her crew is menaced not only by humanity's nemesis, but by an unwitting Peeping Tom.

15 Meters While the Sidonia girds up to take the battle to the Greater Cluster Ship, a lethal threat that has been brewing within finally erupts.

Outer space, the far future. A lone seed ship, the Sidonia, has arrived in the Lem star system, ten centuries since the obliteration of Earth. The massive, nearly indestructible, yet barely sentient alien life forms that continued to pose an existential threat are now aided and abetted by humanity's best scientific mind.
