Cover of the first volume

The Sky Crawlers (スカイ・クロラ) is a light novel series by Hiroshi Mori. The series currently has 6 published novels. There is an animated movie adaptation directed by Mamoru Oshii, as well as a game adaptation on the Wii platform.

Story Synopsis

The story unfolds in another 'possible' modern age. The main characters are youngsters called "Kildren", who are destined to live eternally in their adolescence. The Kildren are conscious that every day could be the last, because they fight a "war as entertainment" organized and operated by adults. But as they embrace the reality they are faced with, they live their day-to-day lives to the full.
