Tanaka writes from the perspective of an historian, reporting the events in a rather matter-of-fact way, while foreshadowing upcoming events. In that first novel, we find out about the war, its origins, and more. The main protagonists are Reinhard von Lohengramm and Yang Wen-Li, respectively. The first novel of the series sets the stage for the epic back-and-forth battle between the Galactic Empire and the Free Planets Alliance. I wanted to write about the series of novels to encourage others to read them. I’m probably something of an outlier here–having only read some of the books while not having seen the anime. What far fewer people have experienced is the novels upon which it is based. The Legend of Galactic Heroes is a… well, legendary anime series.
