I'd rather discuss this here than in the regular manga forum, since there doesn't seem to be much substantial discussion going on there. (Mostly it's "how much manga do you have?" or "what did you buy lately?" stuff there.)

I just finished volume 2 of the Gundam Lost War Chronicles. So far it's very much like the 08th MS Team anime series. Plus the art is by Natsumoto, who did the Record of the Lodoss Heroic Knight manga, and I really like his artwork. I only like UC Gundam, so I was pretty excited when I first discovered this series.

My problem is that the captain of the team, Matt Healey, is a lot like Shiro Amada from the 08th team in that his policy of fighting Zeon but not actually killing any of them leads to deaths in his own squad. In real life, he'd be relieved of his command and possibly court martialled, I'm sure.

Anyone else reading this series?

I ordered it but have yet to read it.

But i dont recall Shiros team ever taking any casulties as a result of his leadership.

Yeah, what I meant to say is, he takes that ideal to the extreme. It's pretty stupid.
