Mobile Suit Gundam, the origin is a science fiction Japanese manga by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko. In the distant future, mankind has been emigrating its excess population from Earth into space. Hundreds of man built, terraformed, cylindrical structures were space colonies where millions of humans resided and found new homes and lived peacefully, but not for very long. Side 3, the colony farthest from Earth declared independence from Earth Federation as the Principality of Zeon which declared war on the Federation. In just over a month, fighting between the principality and the federation had lead to the slaughter of more that half of Humanity. The war ended in stalemate and an uneasy truce. During this time the Federation began to secretly develop new and highly advanced mobile suits known as Gundams in preparation for future war. Soon this peace was broken and the Principality attacked on one of the Federation colony's where the Gundams were being developed. In this colony a young boy named Amuro learns how to use the Gundam by himself and displays himself as a capable pilot, defeating many Principality mobile suits. I enjoyed reading this manga because of its Sci-Fi genre, action packed plot, skilled drawn art, and characters both heroes and villains who have great characteristics and well developed back stories. Gundam is one of the manga classics and one of my favorite anime of all time. If you are a Japanese anime or manga fan like me, I would recommend you to pickup this book from the library and start reading.
