  1. 1. 86—Eighty Six, Vol. 1

    In a war where a nation insists its autonomous weapons fight without human cost, a marginalized minority is forced to pilot those supposedly unmanned machines and treated as disposable. The story follows a compassionate young handler working safely behind the lines and the stoic leader of a front‑line unit whose radio conversations expose the regime’s lies, forge a fragile human bond, and force both to confront the moral and emotional cost of systemic dehumanization and modern warfare.
