That's an interesting setting. That makes this taking place around around the end of ZZ Gundam yet before Char's Counterattack.

The artwork looks pretty solid. So I guess the story will have strong video game themes?

Since the Unbreakable Machine Doll LN is ending, I guess Reiji Kaito-sensei is gonna busy himself with this.

the first thing i noticed about the visual was the character, he looks from an "angst-teen, mecha-riding" anime with some hormonal issues that causes him to have emotional breakdowns. I just hope im wrong. Well the design was really off for a UC timeline gundam.

You sound like you're talking about Zeta Gundam. Laughing
But yeah, he kinda looks like the MC from Overman King Gainer. Come to think of it, that also had a video gaming side too.

I didn't comment about the MC at first since he looked like the MC from Crossbone Gundam Ghost.

IMO the mech designs look unusual too. But around that time period, I think most MS did look weird.

wow! you nailed it dude, i was referring to the mc of zeta to be exact. What are you by the way? a newtype?

Well i haven't really checked on crossbone G Ghost but its on my list now.

As for the background, the mecha on the left reminds me of the lightning zeta gundam from GBFT but probably its just me hallucinating because i'm rewatching GBFT right now.

I'm not sure if this will be good. High schooler who scores high on a video game suddenly find his game turned real sort of theme?
