Altair: A Record of Battles Volume 26

The first new volume in two years for the series that won the 41st Kodansha Manga Awards in the shonen category! Frontière, a city in Balt Province now ruled over by Zaganos, is the site of a new rebellion—led by a former Balt-Rhein imperial officer and boasting over ten thousand troops! But they’re not the only threat to Torqye, as some of the more conservative pashas are voicing disagreement with the autocratic government Zaganos is trying to build. Some face off in public against this would-be despot; others, sensing the danger in the air, depart Torqye for safer lands. The now much larger nation is embroiled in strife over its very future—but will Mahmut be able to navigate these dangerous waters? Keep your eyes peeled for the story’s ultimate finale in Volume 27, too!
