From Inkr: Outer space, the far future. A lone seed ship, the Sidonia, plies the void, ten centuries since the obliteration of the solar system. The massive, nearly indestructible, yet barely sentient alien life forms that destroyed humanity’s home world continue to pose an existential threat. Nagate Tanikaze has only known life in the vessel’s bowels deep below the sparkling strata where humans have achieved photosynthesis and new genders. Not long after he emerges from the Underground, however, the youth is bequeathed a treasured legacy by the spaceship’s coolheaded female captain. Vol 7 includes: *Sidonia no Kishi Zenjitsudan: Dai-4-ji Gauna Boueisen*. Official English: [Azuki](https://www.azuki.co/series/knights-of-sidonia), [INKR](https://comics.inkr.com/title/1117-knights-of-sidonia?utm_source=mud) Note: Won the 39th Kodansha Manga Award for Best General Manga in 2015 and the 47th Seiun Award for Best Comic in 2016.
