Kidou Senshi Gundam: Cucuruz Doan no Shima

Hatred, strife, death, destruction, despair, regret, and sadness. What can a soldier do to make up for the guilt and shame buried inside himself? What is a warrior to do when he is taken out of his life knowing only war? Can he still hold up when the fighting comes back to him? The Farm Arc of Vinland Saga and Cucuruz Doan's Island answer these questions for you. In VS, deuteragonist Einar wounds up a slave on a farm where he meets protagonist and former warrior Thorfinn. Having killed many he is tortured by his dreams every night. Though he manages to adapt to life on the farm, his past is not kept away as King Canute, whom he once served comes to take the farm by force. In CDI, protagonist Amuro goes AWOL during a mop-up operation on Alegranza and his captor, the titular Doan, is a deserter raising war orphans, living and farming crops on the island. With memories of the sins he committed with his unit haunting him, Doan makes it an obligation to prevent further conflict as the island holds a dark secret that could turn the tide of the war. read more
