Title: Background of the Work
"The Five Star Story" is a major work serialized by Japanese manga artist Mamoru Nagano in "Monthly NewType" starting from 1986. The story is set in the distant universe, specifically in the Kyuukai Star Cluster composed of five solar systems. It narrates the rise and fall of humanity across the cluster over thousands of years, spanning a grand world with a unique science fiction narrative.
The narrative unfolds in a universe vastly different from ours, within the "Kyuuka Taiyou Star Cluster," where anything is possible. It features advanced technology surpassing Earth, coexisting with gods and magical powers, as well as stories of knights, princesses, and fairies. The tale is epic in scale, and Mamoru Nagano, like a wandering poet within the story, weaves the narrative without adhering to chronological development.
This world is diverse, encompassing robots, clones, mutants, psychics, beings unaffected by time, and even celestial events like the STANTTOYO wandering star that brings catastrophic events every 1500 years. The narrative includes modified humans, monsters, artificial life forms, appearances of Earth, and even sightings of MOUSE and KING TIGER tanks near Berlin. It is a world where everything exists, making it more of a fairy tale than traditional science fiction.
The story revolves around the war during the chaotic times of four solar systems, focusing on the tale of the God of Light, Emperor Tenshou Tezuka, his wife Lachesis, and numerous honorable knights.
The main characters include:
1. Tenshou/Raideios Sup
- Full name: Tenshou Dis Grand Gules Idas IV
- Alias: Raideios Sup (name given by his mother before adulthood)
- 84th King of the Gules Kingdom
- Emperor of the Tenshou Dynasty, 10 Eastern Nations of the Idas Continent
- Representative Eternal President of Tirta Belen
- President of the Magic Guild
- The protagonist of the story, the Creator God of the Kyuukai universe, an all-knowing and all-powerful God of Light.
2. Lachesis/Laki
- Full name: Ghife Lachesis Fenetik Baransu Tenshou Guries
- Second sister of the Three Fates, the highest creation of Chrome Ballanche, a super life form surpassing Fatimas, knights, and magic users.
- Born in the Kyuukai Star Cluster, her existence would have various impacts on the God of Light, Tenshou, and the cluster itself.
The narrative spans three parts, covering the reign of Tenshou Tezuka over the Kyuukai Star Cluster, the rebellion led by Colus VI against Tenshou's surrogate Fatima, Ypsilondera, and the time-space adventures of Lachesis, while Tenshou searches for her aboard the warship "Will." The story concludes with the marriage of Tenshou and Lachesis.
The background of "The Five Star Story" involves a richly detailed universe, with a timeline known as the Star Cluster Calendar, depicting the rise and fall of civilizations. Despite its high-tech civilization, the cluster faces impending destruction, and the narrative revolves around knights, Fatimas, electric knights, magic users, dragons, and gods, creating a captivating and diverse storyline.
