Gigantomachia

Gigantomachia ((聖闘士星矢 GIGANTOMACHIA, Saint Seiya: Gigantomachia) is a novel that tells a story parallel to The Knights of the Zodiac anime and manga. It was written by Tatsuya Hamazaki and approved by Masami Kurumada as an official story. The novel tells the fight of the Knights of Athena against the Giants who were allied with the Titans and led by the god Typhon, who commands through "Fear". Using his godly cosmos, he also manages to increase the power of the Giants, giving hardships to the Bronze Saints. A few new saints appear in the story, including Coma Mei, the young man who must seal this evil. The story is divided into two volumes: The Story of Mei and The Story of Blood.

The story takes place right after the Battle against Poseidon and just before the Holy War against Hades.

The story of Mei - Book 1
The Story of Mei (Mei no Shō 盟の章) introduces the official older son of Mitsumasa Kido who trained under Cancer Deathmask, The mighty Giants rise from the dephts of Mount Etna in southern Italy: Agrios and his brutal strength, Toas and his lightning, Pallas the fool, and Typhon, the leader of them all arrive as new enemies. They have only one wish: revenge on the Goddess Athena, the defender of humanity. Thus begins Gigantomaquia, the great war of the Giants.

To defend Athena and humanity itself, the Saints of Athena will have to demonstrate a strength that even they don't know if they really have. It's a big challenge, but they will have an ally, a new Knight among the heroes:Coma Berenices. An electrifying epic within Masami Kurumada's classic creation,

The Story of Blood - Book 2
In the Story of Blood (Chi no Shō 血の章), the saints who had moved to Mount Etna are reunited with Athena in the Sanctuary of Greece. They had lived many adventures: kidnappings, fighting mythological monsters and even one of the heroes was overpowered by the enemy. In this story we have revelations such as the name of Mei's master, one of the Golden Knights, the arrival of a friend and the saving appearance of a powerful ally. Furthermore, even more devastating battles are fought showing the true reason for this new Gigantomachy. The classic story of Masami Kurumada will never be the same after the end of this blood story.
