Space travel has long been a science fiction mainstay. Dreams and aspirations of traveling among the stars have arrested man’s imagination since antiquity. The wonders, the mysteries, and the answers that await man deep within the cosmos drift in silence, gazing down at the Earth, waiting for us. While man has learned how to scratch only the merest of surfaces with space travel with its space stations, satellites, robots, and its famous lunar voyage, there is still yet an incalculable amount of space that has yet to be explored. It is this dream of venturing forth from Earth and into the stars that sets the stage for one of anime’s long forgotten science fiction stories. Set on a planet within our solar system, and steeped in action and drama, Venus Wars is a gripping science fiction story that has been lost in the sea of classic anime.The Venus Wars was created in 1986 as a manga, written and illustrated by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko. Set within the distant year of 2003, The Venus Wars presents a simple, yet effective premise to its readers. A comet, named Apollon, crashes into the planet Venus. This mighty impact disperses much of Venus’ atmosphere, allows seas to form, and speeds up its planetary rotation. As unimaginably unlikely as such a series of events are to occur, they do occur, which results in Venus becoming habitable for humans. By 2012, humanity begins to venture forth from Earth to its formerly lethal sister planet and begins to colonize it. Humanity being humanity, however, brings with it the inevitable clash and conflict that has plagued humankind since its birth.The monobike racers, the Killer Commandos, assume the roles of a guerrilla resistance group, fighting back against the invading Ishtarians. Chief among them is Hiro Seno, a young star cyclist. Together with Susan and the rest of the Killer Commandos, Hiro is forced into the role of military fighter. The outcome of the war between Aphrodia and Ishtar is set to have long-lasting effects on the planet of Venus; should Ishtar win, the people colonize it and those who would travel there in the future would be met with an oppressive fascist regime. The stakes are high and failure is not an option for Susan and Hiro, the fate of millions of people resting on their shoulders.
