Arcadia of My Youth

Returning to Earth from the front lines of an interstellar war, Captain Harlock finds that his home has been occupied by an oppressive alien species, The Illumidus Empire. The sole hope remaining for the downtrodden Earthmen is a lone voice known only as “The Rose,” yet is known more intimately to Harlock as his former lover, Maya. Not simply being able to sit and wait for such a day to come, together with friend Tochiro Oyama, Maya’s voice and others who share their beliefs, Harlock seeks to cast off the shackles of the Illumidus.
