Fafner

Tatsumiyajima sits at the heart of a small island chain, a quiet, out-of-the-way corner of Japan where daily life seems calm and predictable. The local students attend school believing their future will be just as uneventful—because that’s what they’ve been taught.

Behind that peaceful surface lies a far harsher reality: humanity’s survival is at stake, and Tatsumiyajima stands as the final barrier against a hostile, incomprehensible enemy. At the center of that defense is the towering mecha Fafner, a dragon-like guardian protecting what remains of mankind’s last hope.
