Holiday Review #23: MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM: CHAR'S COUNTERATTACK - BELTORCHIKA'S CHILDREN

 There's no way that I wasn't going to talk about this, the latest Gundam manga to hit our shores (especially since it had been delayed for so long, between Covid-related printing issues and clearing all the various necessary rights).

MOBILE SUIT GUNDAM: CHAR'S COUNTERATTACK - BELTORCHIKA'S CHILDREN (Kido Senshi Gundamu: Gyakushu no Char - Berutochika Chirudoren), based on the original story by Yoshiyuki Tomino and Hajime Yatate and mobile suit designs by Yutaka Izubuchi, with art by Uroaki Sabisi and Takayuki Yanase.  First published in 2014 and first published in North America in 2023.



PLOT:

In the year UC 0093, Char Aznable has reappeared as the leader of Neo Zeon.  He has an army of mobile suits at his command, and his target is not just the Earth Federation but the Earth itself.  The only force that can stand up to him is that on the Londo Bell, commanded by former White Base captain Bright Noa.  No one on the ship is more determined to stop Char than Amuro Ray, the Gundam pilot who has both fought against and aside Char in the past.  As the battle grows, it will encompass not just Char, Amuro, and those who fight alongside them, but younger children such as runaway rich girl Quess Paraya and Bright's son Hathaway.
