Military · Sci-Fi1. SPRIGGAN
by Hiroshi Takashige, Ryouji Minagawa
- Action (shared)
- Adventure
- Sci-Fi (shared)
Ancient civilisations left behind technologies powerful enough to change the modern world. Their surviving relics attract governments, soldiers and other groups eager to claim that power. The ARCAM organisation sends its elite agents, known as Spriggans, to keep dangerous discoveries from falling into the wrong hands. Yu Ominae is one of those agents, a young operative whose advanced equipment and combat skills place him between rival forces and the secrets they seek. Ruins become battlefields, archaeological mysteries become urgent missions, and opponents with extraordinary abilities turn each assignment into more than a straightforward recovery operation. Hiroshi Takashige and Ryoji Minagawa combine adventure, military action and speculative archaeology. The appeal lies in the collision of ancient mysteries with modern technology, supported by energetic mechanical artwork and a hero who must decide when the past should be uncovered and when its most dangerous achievements should remain buried.

In a near-future Japan, giant machines called Labors have become everyday tools for construction and heavy industry. Their usefulness also makes them dangerous in the wrong hands. To handle crimes involving these powerful machines, the police establish a specialist unit equipped with patrol Labors of its own. Noa Izumi joins a team whose duties combine enormous hardware with the awkward routines of an ordinary workplace. Pilots, commanders and mechanics must cooperate under public scrutiny, balancing their enthusiasm for the machines against the practical limits of policing crowded streets. Behind individual incidents lie larger interests in the technology's development and use. Masami Yuki's manga gives its robots weight by placing them inside a functioning society. Mechanical action shares space with office humour, investigations and the relationships of an unusual police squad, making the people who operate and maintain the equipment as important as the machines themselves.

His path leads through yakuza clans, sorcerer organisations and dangerous alliances, with allies such as the gruff Shiba watching his back.

A thousand years after a war that destroyed industrial civilisation, humanity survives on the edges of the Sea of Corruption, a vast forest of giant fungi that releases poisonous spores and is guarded by enormous insects. In the small Valley of the Wind lives Nausicaa, a young princess with a rare understanding of the forest and its creatures. When the kingdom of Tolmekia, led by the formidable Princess Kushana, goes to war, Nausicaa is pulled into a conflict between rival nations fighting over ancient weapons. Her journey takes her deep into the forest, where she begins to uncover the truth about the poisoned world and humanity's place in it. Hayao Miyazaki's epic manga, created over twelve years, is far richer and more complex than the 1984 film it inspired, a profound story about ecology, war and compassion. It won the Seiun Award and remains a landmark of the medium.
