Synopsis:

Set in a future where humanity has established colonies throughout the solar system, this series follows the lives of genetically engineered "Princes"—children specifically designed and rigorously trained to pilot powerful combat machines. The narrative centers on Hitachi O Izuru, a teenager attending the academic hub of Grandzehle, a place seemingly detached from the realities of interstellar conflict.

The story explores the pressures faced by these young pilots as they navigate their specialized education alongside the expectations of defending humanity against extraterrestrial threats near Jupiter. It delves into themes of identity, purpose, and the psychological impact of being engineered for war, contrasting the serene environment of Grandzehle with the dangerous world beyond. The series offers a contemplative look at the cost of survival and the complexities of forging one's own path within a predetermined destiny.
