86 - Eighty-Six, Vol. 1

By: Asato Asato, Shirabii, Matthew Rutsohn

Narrated by: Suzie Yeung, Alejandro Saab

A War Without Casualties

The Republic of San Magnolia has long been under attack from the neighboring Giadian Empire's army of unmanned drones known as the Legion. After years of painstaking research, the Republic finally developed autonomous drones of their own, turning the one-sided struggle into a war without casualties-or at least, that's what the government claims.

In truth, there is no such thing as a bloodless war. Beyond the fortified walls protecting the eighty-five Republic territories lies the "nonexistent" Eighty-Sixth Sector. The young men and women of this forsaken land are branded the Eighty-Six and, stripped of their humanity, pilot the "unmanned" weapons into battle...

Phenomenal Story and Reading

I love 86 and the way the voice actors portrayed this made it even better. I’d listen to it 100 times over.

Great listen

Love it, the Dual voice actors is an amazing touch to show both sides of the story.

A must read.

This series is perfect if you want a short entertaining read. 86 is a story of healing belive it or not. Upon reading Shin's story it led to some major healing of my own. Thank you so much for giving me that gift.

One of the best manga

Love this series. Definitely worth a listen if you like this story. Hope more is released.

No matter the version STILL GREAT!

Having originally only known of this story though the anime I was overjoyed to see that it had a auditable!

Still a incredibly story no matter what version you go for (maybe not the manga but idk *shrug*), I was surprised oh how much original content that both the anime and the LN had and to be honest I felt like a lot that came from here added to well everything, what really helped me was the Voice actors for this as both were incredible.

This is a very easy recommendation!

really good first volume

I really like the story and thought that it had some really cool characters can't wait to see what's next.
House of the vocal performance of the two actors was amazing.

Perfect performance!

The two narrators did such a fantastic job with this story. Their voices matched perfectly to what I had imagined and brought this story to life. Did not regret purchasing this one bit.

This story broke me

As I’m sure many others here did too, I started out with the anime. It’s firmly placed at my favorite anime and/or show/movie of all time. I’ve never been one for reading but the characters, story, and emotions that they brought out of me convinced me that I needed to know more. I’ve never cried from reading a book or listening to an audiobook before this.

The English voice actors for the dubbed anime did a great job in this voiceover of the book.

Im more than ready for more.

If you've seen the anime this is such a gem

I absolutely love what Yen Press is doing by having the voice actors of dub voice the actual book. I think here they do a good job switching perspectives and voice actors. Will probably give it a second listen. Can't wait for the rest of the volumes to come out!

The voices fit the character throughout the story and was close enough to the anime.

All the voices they had fit perfectly. it reminded me of the anime and I came here to listen to the whole story. I'm glad I did. The overall story was pretty good.
