A manga about a cutthroat military genius who takes command of immortal teenage warriors to protect one of the last human strongholds against alien monsters.

We’ve discussed this on a recent episode.

This manga is so interesting! The military leader has a history of killing off incompetent allies and sacrificing them for the greater good. He’s clearly not moral or just but so deliciously ruthless. Then you pair him up with a group of emotionally unstable genetically manipulated teenage weapons who just happen to regenerate from death but forget their last hour of being alive. It leads to many situations where the military guy will kill off the teens in order to preserve his superiority. It’s fascinating to look at such an unstable alliance being tasked with protecting humanity. My only complaint is that all the teenagers are female while the military leader is male. This means that most instances of murder happening is male on female violence and that has Maruei Rokudai sending an uncomfortable message in their manga.
