GAEA-TIMA the Gigantis 5

A gigantic monster returns to the town it ravaged years earlier in this poignant kaiju manga from the creator of Colorless. In the spirit of Godzilla and Godzilla Minus One, GAEA-TIMA blends explosive action with character drama and the social conscience that roots the genre in post-war history. In volume 5, Miyako finally bonds with GAEA-TIMA in dreams, setting the stage for the clash with Tsubagra, a flying kaiju controlled by the enigmatic Hibari Esashi. Hibari's swagger hides a painful past, and Tatsukuni presses for answers as the defense forces swirl around the confrontation. Through this duel, Miyako grapples with what GAEA-TIMA truly represents, and the larger meaning of the titanic guardian for a town trying to rebuild. Kent, a Japan-based concept artist and writer, brings crisp art and hard-hitting ideas to this ongoing saga.
