Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team

In the midst of the One Year War, the Earth Federation and the Principality of Zeon engage in a brutal guerrilla war in Southeast Asia. The Zeon’s Apsaras Project, led by pilot Aina Sahalin, holds the key to their victory in the region. Meanwhile, the Earth Federal Army receives reinforcements in the form of Ensign Shiro Amada, newly appointed commander of the 08th Mobile Suit Team.

A Star-Crossed Love

Shiro and Aina have a complicated past, having met during a mutual rescue in space. However, when Shiro discovers Aina’s true identity as the pilot of the Zeon mobile armor, he is arrested for treason. The Federation offers Shiro a chance at redemption: he must lead the 08th MS Team deep into Zeon-held territory to find their hidden base. As the war rages on, Shiro and Aina must decide where their true allegiances lie – with each other, or with their respective sides.
