Yakitori: Soldiers of Misfortune

A young man defies authority on a future Earth, serving as part of an interstellar military unit with a 70% casualty rate.

In a future where the solar system is divided among trade federations in constant conflict, Akira, who was born in Japan but finds himself under restrictions there, seeks to escape his homeland. Recommended by his military cook friend Pupkin, Akira enlists in an orbital drop infantry unit of a trade federation. These units are known for their high 70% casualty rate and are affectionately called "Yakitori" due to their expendable nature.
