Tytania

Volume 1 Cover (Original Tokuma Shoten Edition)

Tytania (タイタニア), is a Japanese space opera light novel series created by Yoshiki Tanaka (mainly known for the Legend of the Galactic Heroes). The series is 5 volumes long, and ran between 1988 and 2015 with a 22 year hiatus between volumes 3 and 4.

In 2008, Tytania was adapted to a 26 episode anime, and a 9-volume manga.

Note: Over the years, Tytania was published by various editors (Tokuma Shoten, Kodansha, Square Enix, etc.), with different illustrators (Katsumi Michihara, Akira Kasahara, Haruhiko Mikimoto, etc.) Each edition has very different aesthetics as far as covers and illustrations go. Due to the long 22-year hiatus in this series, only the Kodansha edition comprises all 5 volumes. The covers presented in this page are from the Kodansha editon. They use the graphic style of the 2008 anime adaptation of the series.

This translation was made from the latest electronic edition, which, unfortunately, doesn't contain any illustrations or even any author's afterwords.
