This is the lie in the truth, the change of daydreams in reality. No, it's the story of the souls of the changed human race. AD 2070. More than half a century has passed since the humans first got attacked by the mysterious living entity known as "Mariss." "The battle... I can't do it. It hurts to say no... Everything has already... No, I can't... Somebody, help me..." But the spirit of Celen, the pilot of "Black Witch" Destbloom, the only Heavy Weapon that can possibly oppose Mariss, has been repeatedly sapped by the hopelessness of battle. Before going out for a sortie, she had been captured for scheming to escape, and was forcibly made to sortie on the battlefield. But, on that day, a miracle fell onto the battlefield. A mysterious Fighter from an unknown nationality appeared with a SuperWeapon not obtainable from this world and purged Mariss. The humans were roused. Even then, the Pilot that came out from that Fighter was a carbon copy of Eirun Bazatt, the Pilot in the hugely popular anime "Doll Waltz Requiem"—!? (Source: Baka-Tsuki)

Yuichi Yokoyama makes comics in a unique language situated somewhere between the primal drives of William Blake and the elegant geometries of Sol Lewitt--they are works of philosophical complexity and stunning visual power, of which he has said, "I'm not trying to write stories that are set in the future, but rather to write stories which are delivered from references to any given epoch or time. If the history of the world had turned out differently from what we know today, men would live according to different sets of values and different aesthetics It would be a civilization completely alien to ours." This first U.S. book on Yokoyama's work combines two of the artist's central themes: fighting and building. One set of graphic stories, Public Works, details massive structures being erected across a landscape. Plot is pushed aside in favor of sheer formal verve as we watch buildings, about which we know nothing, come into being. The other set of stories, Combats, is one sequence after another of elegantly choreographed battles. Manga comics have never seen a talent that combines this level of formal ambition with such exquisitely drawn depictions of fashion, art and architecture. (Source: PictureBox)
