"Toki ni Aragaishi Mono" sets out to tell a different tale than the original AoZ: The Flag of Titans; the setting and story are unrelated. The Flag of Titans, which as the title implies follows a Titans officer, shares no unique characters or mecha. What the two stories do share is a grounding in Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam. This title follows the story of three youths in its own way. Source: Gundam.Info

Original work: Hajime Yadate, Yoshiyuki Tomino

Story: Jun'ichi Kamino

Mechanical Design: Ryota Magaki, Fumihiro Katagai, et al

New chapters are published on GUNDAM.INFO on the 25th of each month, and typically remain freely viewable for three months. Dengeki Hobby publishes excerpts and dioramas. Watch as the curtain rises on a new AoZ!
