Synopsis

Zeon ace pilot, Commander Char Aznable, thought he could foil the Federation's plan to build a mobile suit by attacking their research base on colony Side 7. He was wrong. With a prototype already active, the besieged Federation forces strike back using their new weapon, the mobile suit Gundam, with devastating consequences. Amidst the fighting, young electronics wizard Amuro Ray is determined not to let his friends and family die in the crossfire. But what can one boy do to repel a squad of mobile suit-clad invaders?

Background

Kidou Senshi Gundam: The Origin won the 43rd Seiun Award in the Best Comic category in 2012.

The series was partially published in English as Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin by VIZ Media in 12 volumes from March 6, 2002, to August 17, 2004, before it was canceled. VIZ Media's version does not correspond to the Japanese volumes, and approximately only the first six volumes were translated. Vertical Inc. published the full series based on the 12-volume aizouban reprint from March 26, 2013, to December 15, 2015. It was also published in Spanish by Norma Editorial from November 2005 to July 24, 2015; and in Italian by Edizioni Star Comics from October 1, 2004, to May 24, 2012.

Gundam is one of what I consider to be the legendary series, a story that was told in 1979 and is now at the point where the children who grew up with it are now making their own contributions to the saga, and in a way that enriches the saga, not destroys it. You know, the opposite of its near-contemporary, Star Wars, which has been reduced by a collection of untalented narcissists in a shambling monster completely unrelated to its roots. But we are here to speak of Gundam and the superiority of its contributors, not of the Disney-mutiliated abomination wearing Star Wars the way ...

I wanted so many animes to get a manga like this. I don't have words to describe how immersive reading this was. The complex story, the political drama, the battles, the context, everything is so well explained and in such an epic way!

Coming from the anime, I must say that it is really not for the people liking the good aspect of it but rather the more juvenile one.

The Origin depends on a two facets logic, we will be shown one or the other all the story and there are some moments when those two parts meddle with each others. Which should be a good thing, if their affinity wasn't so disastrous.

You have the "evil" part. The characters are depicted to some extent, we are actually lacking the why at many instances having simply a personality but it is still worked around and their strategies/feelings aren't bad. ...
