86 EIGHTY-SIX
86-エイティシックス-
Amidst a war of unrelenting brutality, human pilots are forced to fight to the death in mecha drones, their lives reduced to mere tools of destruction. Emotions run high in this gripping tale of sacrifice and resistance. If you love intense mecha battles, this is unmissable.
Called “Juggernaut,” these are the unmanned combat drones developed by the Republic of San Magnolia in answer to the attacks by the autonomous unmanned drones of the neighboring Empire of Giad, the “Legion”. But they’re only unmanned in name. In reality, they are piloted by the Eighty-sixers—those considered to be less than human and treated as mere tools. Determined to achieve his own mysterious ends, Shin, the captain of Spearhead Squadron, which is comprised of Eighty-sixers, continues to fight a hopeless war on a battlefield where only death awaits him.
