Why? – because they are the Eighty-Six

For years, the Republic of San Magnolia has been under siege by the Giadian Empire’s Legion — an army of unmanned drones. The Republic claims to have no casualties, thanks to its own autonomous weapons. But the truth is far darker.

Outside the safety of the Republic’s eighty-five sectors lies the “nonexistent” Eighty-Sixth Sector, where young men and women — the Eighty-Six — are stripped of their humanity and forced to pilot these unmanned machines in deadly battles.

Among them is Shin, the spearhead of the Spearhead Squadron, and Lena, a handler who commands the unit from afar. As their fates intertwine, the illusion of a war without loss begins to crumble.

A powerful and emotional debut volume that blends war drama, political intrigue, and human tragedy — beautifully illustrated by Shirabii and written by Asato Asato.
