Simoun

On the planet Daikuuriku, the lush nation of Simulacrum has long lived in relative calm, protected by sacred flying craft known as Simoun and the Sibylla priestesses who pilot them. Fueled by ancient artifacts, these machines can invoke Ri Maajon—an awe-inspiring power said to be capable of rending the sky itself.

Aaeru, a headstrong girl, enters the Chor Tempest in the hope of someday taking the controls of a Simoun. Her arrival coincides with a sudden escalation into war, as rival countries move to seize Simulacrum’s coveted technology, convinced it holds the answer to averting catastrophe.

Caught between battlefield demands and painful personal losses, the members of Chor Tempest must grow quickly to survive. As they fight to defend their homeland, they’re also drawn toward the deeper secrets surrounding the Simoun and the true nature of Ri Maajon.
