Terra Formars volume 6 - Yu Sasuga and Ken-Ichi Tachibana

Thanks to Amazon I now have the next instalment in this series, and I can enjoy the tale of the ill-fated colonisation effort of Mars.

 

 

Still in the ambush pit, the battle continues as the survivors of the mission try to make way to their ship.

As they are in a dire spot, Keiji, who was a boxer on Earth and has the mosaic organs of the Peacock Mantis Shrimp, steps forward to face off against the armoured Terra Formar.  He overcomes the beast at great injury, while the captain takes care of the silkmoth endowed Terra Formar in the meantime.

The Russian team meanwhile penetrates further into the pyramids, to discover the wreckage of an old unmanned Earth probe inside.  They also discover that the Terra Formars had inside knowledge of how the spacecraft en escape vehicles work, as well as what the drugs are for.

On the surface, the US / Japan team is attacked with incendiary bombs and nets in order to capture them, but in the direst hour of need, the second US / Japan division arrives and uniting, they start turning the tables.

But what is the truth behind Akari?
