Synopsis
VOL. 1
On August 10th of the year 2010 the Holy Empire of Britannia began a campaign of conquest, its sights set on Japan. Operations were completed in one month thanks to Britannia’s deployment of new mobile humanoid armor vehicles dubbed Knightmare Frames. Japan’s rights and identity were stripped away, the once proud nation now referred to as Area 11. Its citizens, Elevens, are forced to scratch out a living while the Britannian aristocracy lives comfortably within their settlements. Pockets of resistance appear throughout Area 11, working towards independence for Japan.
Lelouch, an exiled Imperial Prince of Britannia posing as a student, finds himself in the heart of the ongoing conflict for the island nation. Through a chance meeting with a mysterious girl named C.C., Lelouch gains his Geass, the power of the king. Now endowed with absolute dominance over any person, Lelouch may finally realize his goal of bringing down Britannia from within!
VOL. 2:
Using the power of the Geass, Lelouch has taken his first steps towards vengeance against the Holy Empire of Britannia. He has crafted for himself the alter ego Zero, to destroy the perceptions of his enemies and protect those close to him. Yet still he finds his efforts lacking. One young prince does not a revolution make. Carrying with him this hard learned lesson Lelouch takes the next step in his rebellion. Gathering a small group of willing Elevens about him, Zero founds the Order of the Black Knights, a faction dedicated to the fight for justice.
On the battlefield Lelouch encounters a man he once called friend seven years before standing on the opposing side: Suzaku Kururugi, the Eleven pilot of the white Knightmare known as Lancelot. With Zero unable to convince Suzaku to fight along side him and unwilling to use the power of Geass, are the two destined to destroy one another?
