Anime cover

Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn (機動戦士ガンダムUC(ユニコーン), Kidō Senshi Gandamu Yunikōn?) is a novel written by Japanese author Harutoshi Fukui and serialized in Kadokawa Shoten. There are 10 volumes in this series, and 7 OVAs have been released. In 2012 Harutoshi Fukui wrote an additional stand-alone novel (Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn - The war after the war) which was to serve as a prequel to the Unicorn light novel series.

Story Synopsis [ edit ]

The series begins in U.C. 0001, at the very beginning of human space colonization, when a space colony called Laplace is destroyed during a ceremony hosted by the Federation's Prime Minister ushering in the Universal Century dating system. The main story takes place in UC 0096.

The story revolves around Banagher Links, a seemingly normal boy living and going to school in the space colonies. His life changes one day when he meets a girl named Audrey Burne, as the encounter brings him into contact with a new Gundam and its connections to an item called "Laplace's Box."

Introduction [ edit ]

O this is the beast who does not exist. They didn't know that, and in any case --with its stance, its arched neck and easy grace, the light of its limpid gaze --they could not resist

but loved it though, indeed, it was not. Yet since they always gave it room, the pure beast persisted. And in that loving space, clear and unfenced, reared it's head freely and hardly needed...

to exist. They fed it not with grain nor chaff but fortified and nourished it solely with the notion that it might yet come to pass,

so that, at length, it grew a single shaft upon it's brow and to a virgin came-- and dwelled in her and in her silvered glass.
