Aiana: SwordXPlanet Volume 1

In a world where magic comes from heroic strength of heart, the mightiest of heroes are humanity's first line of defense.
Beginning eight-hundred years ago, the Great Monster only known as the Hero Eater demanded sacrifice from the men and women of the Xirsaga galaxy lest they fall prey to his fleets of monstrous children. Every four years, commemorated by the games on Olympus, the Olympian Committee must send nine warriors to his lair on planet Minos, ostensibly to kill him, but in effect so that he may consume them and their energies and spare the Galaxy another four years. But when the secret slips out that the Committee is sending weak warriors to Minos deliberately, hoping to sate its ruler's hunger and thus preserve their power, a ragtag team of the strongest mortals in the galaxy set out to finish the job themselves. Fairy Rohas Crux, successor to the famous Red Cross Knight, abandons her old peaceful life to join this team, with the goal of assembling nine paragons of the mortal interplanetary nations to slay the Hero Eater and end his reign of tyranny. But once she takes to the stars, she must face zealous cutthroats, power-hungry empires, and the bloodthirsty monsters of the Great Monster himself out for the heads of her and her new friends. Can Ro and her team survive long enough to become the heroes she always looked up to? And what is the Hero Eater, the mysterious being that terrorizes all creatures?
Presenting a world mythology-based space fantasy with inspiration from tokusatsu drama and shounen anime, Naren Pradhan tells an emotional tale of innocence lost, courage found, and the heroic rise to the challenge in a world where magic exists alongside high technology and heroes stand to defend humanity from the monstrous and the malevolent.
