Toward the Terra

Synopsis

In a future where Earth has become uninhabitable and been renamed Terra five hundred years after its environmental collapse, humanity now exists within a space society governed by supercomputers. Children are raised in artificial wombs and assigned to families at random. When each person turns fourteen, they must undergo an Adulthood Exam. The greatest threat to this system is the Mu—humans who have developed psychic abilities. On his fourteenth birthday, as Jomy Marquis Shin prepares for his Adulthood Exam, he learns with horror that his childhood memories will be erased. Then he hears the voice of Soldier Blue, the leader of the Mu, urging him to hold onto his past. Jomy escapes on a Mu vessel and discovers that he too has psychic powers, and that the government has sentenced him to death. As Soldier Blue nears his end, he transfers his memories to Jomy and appoints him as the Mu's new commander. Jomy must now decide whether to keep the Mu hidden or to declare war on the human authorities to achieve their goal of reclaiming Terra.
