The space colony Heliopolis remains neutral in the great war raging across the galaxy between Coordinators, human beings whose biological traits have been altered before birth, and Naturals, people who remain unaltered on the planet Earth, in the year Cosmic Era 0071. The Naturals' aversion to the Coordinators drove the advanced beings into space, where they sought refuge in artificial colonies.
Kira Yamato is a Coordinator and university student on Heliopolis when his life is turned upside down when ZAFT, a rebellious Coordinator-led military organization, attacks the colony in an attempt to steal a set of five state-of-the-art military mobile suits known as Gundams.
While ZAFT manages to escape with four of the mobile suits, Kira takes command of the Strike, the final Gundam. Kira and his college friends survive the battle and join the crew of the Archangel, an Earth Alliance ship, where the young soldiers learn about the horrors of war and the loss that comes with it.
Yumi Tamura's manga series 7 Seeds (stylized as 7SEEDS) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by her. It's set in a post-apocalyptic future, long enough after a meteorite hits Earth for new species to emerge, and it follows the struggles of five groups of young adults to survive after being revived from cryonic preservation. The title comes from the Japanese government's requirement that five groups of people be kept in cryogenic chambers with supplies known as "seeds." The manga began serialization in Shogakukan's Bessatsu Shjo Comic magazine in November 2001, and ended in May 2017. It was then transferred to Flowers magazine in April 2002, where it continued until May 2017. Shogakukan published 35 bound volumes containing the individual chapters. In 2007, the series was awarded the 52nd Shogakukan Manga Award for Best Shjo Manga. It has sold over 6 million copies in Japan, including digital sales. In November 2018, Gonzo announced an original net animation (ONA) anime adaptation, directed by Yukio Takahashi and produced by Gonzo. In June of this year, Netflix released the first season worldwide. Studio Kai's second season premiered on March 26th, 2020.
