Tytania - Mikimoto, Haruhiko Michihara, Katsumi Tanaka, Yoshiki

One Man vs. an Empire! Through fear and conquest, the Empire of Valdana holds the future of most of human space within its iron hands, and for generations, those hands have belonged to the Landless Lords of the ruling Tytania dynasty.

But now the foundation of the empire is crumbling, pockets of rebellion are forming and when a mission sent to punish the city-state of Euriya is shockingly defeated, the man responsible becomes the target of a galaxy-wide manhunt!

For Fan Hyurlick, architect of Tytania's first defeat, glory becomes desperation as his own side betrays him. Now Fan must not only save his own life, but somehow turn the tables on opponents who have whole worlds to command!

After publication of the first 3 volumes, published by Tokuma Shoten from 1988-1991, further release of Tytania was cancelled. The series resumed more than 20 years later in 2013, with Kodansha publishing the fourth and fifth volume, and re-publishing the first 3 volumes collected into a single one. The first 3 volumes were also re-published by Square Enix in 2003.

Illustrations in the Tokuma Shoten publication were done by Katsumi Michihara (cover) and Kasahara Akira (inside illustrations). Cover illustrations in Square Enix were done by Haruhiko Mikimoto and in Kodansha by Sugimitsu Noboru.
