Where it came from
Super Dimensional Fortress Macross: The First was launched in 2009 in Kadokawa Shoten's Newtype Ace magazine as a definitive retelling of the original 1982 television series. Created by Mikimoto Haruhiko, who served as the character designer for the original anime, the manga serves as both a nostalgic revisit and a refined exploration of the series' core narrative. It captures the legendary space-opera scale of the Macross saga while grounding the emotional journey of Hikaru Ichijyo and Minmay Lynn in Mikimoto's signature detailed, elegant character linework.
The artistic direction of the volume emphasizes a contemporary interpretation of the classic mecha designs, balancing the gritty reality of the conflict with the series' hallmark focus on idols, music, and romance. Mikimoto’s return to the source material he helped define provided fans with a version of the story that bridged the gap between eighties anime aesthetics and modern manga pacing. The series was well-received for its ability to honor the legacy of the original animation while providing a fresh visual fidelity that contemporary readers appreciated.
