Perfect for fans of Moebius, Star Wars, and Katsuhiro Otomo, Leviathan Volume One by Shiro Kuroi follows a group of students involved in a brutal fight for survival in the depths of space. This thrilling science fiction horror focuses on Leviathan, a gigantic spaceship abandoned in a far-off galaxy. When raiders enter the abandoned ship, they discover the diary of a middle school student named Kazuma, who records the horrific fates of the ship's passengers.
Along with the raiders, readers will witness the story of an innocent school journey to Earth that happened decades ago, with a tragic and brutal end. Trapped in space with not enough oxygen to wait for rescue, Kazuma records the mental breakdown as well as betrayals from teachers and classmates as they realize that the only hope for survival is the cryopreservation unit at the heart of the ship that can only accommodate one person.
A bloody battle for survival ensues, with friends against friends, teachers against students, and every survivor forced to confront their own values of life. As the raiders read, they realize a horrifying truth – there is still one survivor somewhere inside the ship!
