For this monthly special, we read volumes 1-8 of the sci-fi manga Knights of Sidonia by Tsutomu Nihei, and next month we’ll conclude the series with volumes 9-15. Nagate Tanikaze has lived his entire life alone in the depths of a massive spaceship, experiencing the world through his grandfather’s stories and old training simulators. When he ventures out into the rest of the ship, he’s taken into the pilot program, controlling a Garde mech to fight the mysterious shape-shifting aliens known as the Guana. Tanikaze proves himself as a pilot as he awkwardly adapts to the strange new community around him.
