The Five Star Stories (ファイブスター物語, Faibu Sutā Monogatari?) is a manga series created by Mamoru Nagano, building on his work on the anime series Heavy Metal L-Gaim.
The story is staged at an alien cluster of four major planetary systems. The God of Light, Amaterasu, the immortal emperor of the Grees Kingdom on the planet Delta Belune, is destined to rule the whole Joker System. He and Lachesis, his bride and fatima, are the main characters of this epic story.
An anime film adaptation of the first volume, directed by Kazuo Yamazaki, was released in 1989.
Famous quotes containing the word star:
“Firmness yclept in heroes, kings and seamen,
That is, when they succeed; but greatly blamed
As obstinacy, both in men and women,
Whene’er their triumph pales, or star is tamed —
And ‘twill perplex the casuist in morality
To fix the due bounds of this dangerous quality.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
