"I fight only for what I believe in…for no one's sake…only for what's deep in my heart. I sail amongst the stars…people call me: Captain Harlock."

Truer words never spoken. Now! Embark upon an adventure into the infinite sea with the last brave souls of humanity aboard the Arcadia!

(from ebook japan):

The year is 2977 AD. The earth, which has lost its oceans, is devouring its prosperity by a people who have lost their spirit, who laugh at the men who fly off into uncharted space, and who do not deal properly with the dangers that lie ahead of them.

When the flag of a skull flutters before the eyes of Tadashi Daiba, a boy who is disillusioned with Earth, his destiny is set in motion....

Harlock, a man of the universe who entrusts his destiny to the Arcadia, the greatest ship in the universe, and is unbound by anything. What does Tadashi Daiba think of his way of life...?

What was serialized in Play Comic was Part 1 of the manga. Part 2 has not been serialized since due to issues with the Play Comic Editorial Dept. Leaving Harlock unfinished.
