Burning's Report: Blue Afterglow People often say, “Life has meaning only in the struggle.” That is exactly true. Anyone would easily reach that conclusion by opening a history book. No period in human history has ever been free from war. By fighting, people evolve, and by killing… people live. The Immortal 04th Team (minus Chap Adel) makes their appearance in this one-shot manga as they’re tasked with an important mission to investigate an abandoned colony. What they discover there shakes the team to their core. By fighting, people evolve, and by killing… people live. The place where we finally reach the end of that evolution may just be hell.

"Special attack" is not a story of the past. The structure that forces young people to make sacrifices can be said to be Japan's vice that leads to the present age. Tetsuo Tanaka's "Shuo-no-Mon", Shin Ueda's "Comet Ship Bakutai", Takeshi Kobayashi's "I'm Chasing Two Enemy Planes", and other anthologies that approach the truth of special attacks that can never be glorified!

A comic anthology done by various mangaka based on the game, Tales of Symphonia.
