Gigguku

Father's Basement

The Earth-controlled Mars conflict and cruel workplace hierarchy are drawn in direct lines. That clarity does give the opening a firm engine. Kudelia's independence mission creates the political objective, while Mikazuki and Orga face an immediate attack inside their security company. Gundam Barbatos supplies the force needed to answer it.

300 years after a great conflict between Earth and Mars known as the "Calamity War," a woman named Kudelia sets out on a journey to Earth to speak for the independence of the Martian city of Chryse, which is under the control of the Earth government. Escorting her is the private security company CGS members Mikazuki Augus and Orga Itsuka.

What defines it
