Banner of the Stars Vol. 1
A sequel to CREST OF THE STARS, BANNER OF THE STARS picks up where its
predecessor left off, just as the war between the Mankind and the Abh Empire
kicks into high gear. In the midst of this struggle is Jinto Lin, a young
Mankind inhabitant of the planet Martine who was sent to school to study Abh
language and culture in order to become a diplomat and nobleman. Having fallen
in love with the Abh Princess Lafiel, Jinto and his newfound love represent the
only possible hope for a peaceful settlement to this raging war.
Banner of the Stars Vol. 2: Basroil Unleashed!

as a real battle between the main fleet and the Empire is beginning. Desperately
needing a means of escape, Jinto and Lafiel place their trust in a small ship
named the Basroil.
Banner of the Stars Vol. 3: Only the Beginning
In these episodes, the Mankinds strike the first big blow of the battle, wiping
out nearly half of the Empire's fleet with the help of a new weapon. Lafiel,
aboard the Basroil, fumes when she learns of the loss and begins to plan a
counterstrike against the Mankind.
Geneshaft Vol. 1 and Vol. 2: Halo
In the future, the human race is a dying breed, desperate to keep its waning
civilization intact. As a final act of self-preservation, scientists created a
genetic engineering program designed to produce a new breed of humans with
special abilities that could save society. Amazingly, the plan was a success,
laying the foundation of a newly flourishing human race. However, when a
mysterious artifact appears between the Earth and moon, it may signal
destruction of not only humanity, but the Earth as well. Putting together a team
of genetically enhanced humans, the human race sends the team out in a newly
developed ship known as "Shaft" to investigate the potentially
destructive artifact.
Geneshaft Vol. 3: Orbit
In these episodes, the crew of the Bilkis finds themselves in hot water. First,
they're being hunted for deserting after leaving without any apparent orders,
then they discover the Shaft is still buggy. Complicating matters is the fact
that it is becoming more and more obvious that there is a terrorist among them.
Geneshaft Vol. 4: Mobius
In these episodes, the death of friend rocks the crew of the Bilkis. Later, as
Mika continues to refuse to pilot the Shaft, Mir encounters a new type of Ring.
