An fiction based story involving Yoshiyuki Tomino's trials and tribulations in attempting to create the next generation in Japanese anime. This is the story of the events surrounding the creation of the Mobile Suit Gundam series and its shaky and turbulent foundation. While this story is mainly fictional, the central elements and characters are indeed real which gives some factual basis for the story.
 Was first serialized as Gundam Sousei (ガンダム創世), part of the Gundam-san series. Also includes the side story Tomino Den (トミノ伝) and two extras.

What would you do if you suddenly found yourself in the middle of a war? Teenager Amuro Ray sees his life shattered when war comes to his home. During the chaos, Amuro finds himself inside the mobile suit Gundam, the Earth Federation's new secret weapon, and he somehow gets it to work. Amuro and the other refugees flee their homeland on the warship White Base. This group of children and inexperienced soldiers will change the outcome of the war.
