When royal twins are born to the Empress Lilia, one is covertly spirited away in defiance of an ancient code that forbids two surviving heirs.

Author Keiko Takemiya explpores concepts that were later used in films such as The Matrix.

Author Notes

Keiko Takemiya was one of the first female shojo manga writers, and has achieved great success with her science fiction and yaoi (boy-boy love) works. Andromeda Stories is a fantasy tale that invokes The Matrix and The Dark Crystal. It examines themes of man versus machine, and the inescapable grip of destiny.
