Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury

Overview

Set in the Ad Stella era, a time when powerful corporations have moved into space and now run much of the mobile suit industry, Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury follows Suletta Mercury, a shy but kind-hearted girl who has grown up on the remote planet Mercury. When she transfers to the Asticassia School of Technology, a school operated by the all-powerful Benerit Group, she finds herself thrown into a world of corporate politics, rival students and high-stakes duels fought with mobile suits.

Suletta arrives with the Gundam Aerial, a mobile suit with a mysterious past, and her arrival quickly shakes up the school’s rigid hierarchy. As she forms an unlikely partnership with the proud and headstrong Miorine Rembran, the two are drawn into a struggle that reaches far beyond the classroom — one that questions who really controls the future of Gundam technology and what price people are willing to pay for it.
