The SDF-1 has been in the midst of a long journey back to Earth. Along the way, the SDF-1’s Captain, Henry Gloval, was killed under mysterious circumstances and Lisa Hayes took over his position… Rick appears to have gone blind, but has somehow developed a different kind of vision – possibly connected to the Protoculture that powers Robotechnology. He is now concerned that Minmei has also been affected… and she has indeed begun to display strange abilities. Rick believes that his ‘brother’ Roy is dead – unaware that Roy is being held prisoner by Dr. Lazlo Zand… Roy came across Gloval in a cloning chamber… An all-out war has broken out between Dolza and the Zentraedi and the humans of Earth – with huge casualties on both sides… A small group of Zentraedi aliens (including Breetai, Exedore and Miriya) decided to shrink themselves down and are heading to the SDF-1 to defect while the Zentraedi spies, Bron, Rico and Konda, have already requested asylum from the SDF-1…

The Robotech saga continues – and it’s all out war between the humans and the Zentraedi… Having been attacked by the people of Earth, the SDF-1 has no option but to head to Mars Base. But Dolza’s shocking intentions for Earth draw the SDF-1 into more danger. Meanwhile, mysteries surrounding Roy and Minmei deepen, and events seem to be accelerating to a major climax… Written by Simon Furman (Transformers, Doctor Who) with incredible art by Hendry Prasetya (Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers), Marco Turini (Assassin’s Creed, Dark Souls), and Pasquale Qualano (Doctor Who, Warhammer 40K). “A fantastically fun read, full of unexpected twists and great art. Each page is a treat.” – Bleeding Cool

Passionate fans of anime and manga, known in Japan as otaku and active around the world, play a significant role in the creation and interpretation of this pervasive popular culture. Routinely appropriating and remixing favorite characters, narratives, imagery, and settings, otaku take control of the anime characters they consume. Fanthropologies—the fifth volume in the Mechademia series, an annual forum devoted to Japanese anime and manga—focuses on fans, fan activities, and the otaku phenomenon. The zones of activity discussed in these essays range from fan-subs (fan-subtitled versions of anime and manga) and copyright issues to gender and nationality in fandom, dolls, and other forms of consumption that fandom offers. Individual pieces include a remarkable photo essay on the emerging art of cosplay photography; an original manga about an obsessive doll-fan; and a tour of Akihabara, Tokyo's discount electronics shopping district, by a scholar disguised as a fuzzy animal.
