In the universe of Vandread, men are born on Mars and women on Venus—though not strictly. The reach of technology has spread humanity across the Milky Way, and within a single star system, genders inhabit separate planets: Taraak for men and Mejere for women. A bitter, literal war over identity rages so fiercely that each side no longer sees the other as kin.
Hibiki Tokai, a third‑class laborer from Taraak, becomes stranded aboard a warship after a botched attempt to lift a maintenance droid. When female corsairs seize the Taraakian Vanguard, the situation seems doomed for Hibiki. Worse still: in a desperate burst of fire from the Vanguard"s male crew, they trigger a massive wormhole that tears open space and pulls both the Vanguard and the Mejere pirate vessels into its maw. Now, displaced far from their homelands, these men and women must set aside centuries of hatred to navigate the wormhole"s treacherous currents if they hope to return home. Their cooperation becomes essential for survival in the void.
