86 -Eighty Six- (Japanese: 86-エイティシックス-, Hepburn: Eiti Shikkusu) is a Japanese science fiction light novel series written by Asato Asato and illustrated by Shirabii. It began publication by ASCII Media Works under their Dengeki Bunko imprint in February 2017. The series is licensed in North America by Yen Press.

A manga adaptation illustrated by Motoki Yoshihara was serialized in Square Enix's seinen manga magazine Young Gangan from February 2018 to June 2021, with three spin-off manga series—86: Operation High School by Suzume Somemiya, 86: Fragmental Neoteny, and 86: Mahō Shōjo Regina Lena ~Tatakae! Ginga Kōkō Senkan San Magnolia also by Suzume Somemiya—being serialized in Media Factory's seinen manga magazine Monthly Comic Alive from June 2020 to August 2021, from April 2021 to October 2022, and from March 2023, respectively. An anime television series adaptation produced by A-1 Pictures aired from April 2021 to March 2022.

Plot

The Republic of San Magnolia has been at war with the Empire of Giad for nine years. Though it initially suffered devastating losses to the Empire's autonomous mechanized Legions, the Republic has since developed its own autonomous units, called Juggernauts, which are directed remotely by a Handler. While on the surface, the public believes the war is being fought between machines, in reality, the Juggernauts are being piloted by humans, all of whom are "86"—the designation given to the Colorata minority of San Magnolia. The 86 originally had equal rights, but were persecuted and scapegoated by the dominant Alba race and the Alba-supremacist Republic government to the point where Colorata were both officially designated and popularly considered subhuman. The 86 were not permitted to have personal names and were immured in internment camps in the 86th District (their namesake), all the while being forced to fight in the Republic's war with the Empire to receive better treatment.

Major Vladilena "Lena" Milizé, an Alba noble and military officer in the San Magnolian military, speaks out against the grave mistreatment of the nation's Colorata minority, and the willful deception of the general public by the Republic government. She is assigned as the Handler of the Spearhead Squadron of the Eastern Front: an elite unit composed entirely of 86 veterans who have earned names, in the form of callsigns. Led by their squad leader, Shinei Nouzen,"Undertaker", the Spearhead Squadron is infamous among military officials. Its notoriety stems from the state in which its commanding officers are left: Handlers presiding over the squad have descended into insanity and some have gone as far as committing suicide. Lena, an avowed 86 sympathizer, gets to know the Spearhead Squadron in her time as head of the contingent. At the same time, Lena and Shinei learn a dark secret: the Republic and the war with the Empire are not what they seem.

The leader of the 86 Spearhead (スピアヘッド, Supiaheddo) squadron who has fought in and survived countless battles despite only being 16 years old. Nicknamed The Reaper for his habit of keeping a box full of makeshift dogtags crafted out of a small piece of each dead comrade's Juggernaut, which he plans to bury when the war is over. Shin is known for his ruthlessness against both enemies and allies. It is rumored that previous Handlers who have dealt with him have gone insane and left the unit, retired, or even committed suicide for unknown reasons. He develops romantic feelings for Lena throughout the series.
Vladilena Milizé (ヴラディレーナ・ミリーゼ, Vuradirēna Mirīze): Voiced by: Ikumi Hasegawa (Japanese); Suzie Yeung (English); Commonly called Lena (レーナ, Rēna). An officer in the San Magnolian military who got promoted to Major at just 16 years old thanks to a mixture of her skills and family connections.

His callsign was inspired by an Alba commander who sacrificed himself to save Theo's unit. Theo is often blunt and sarcastic when dealing with others, especially their Handlers. He gives Lena a hard time, especially after seeing Kaie, a close friend and comrade die. Theo keeps a sketchbook that he draws in on his spare time, and designed several of the squadron's personal marks on their Juggernauts.
Anju Emma (アンジュ・エマ, Anju Ema) / Snow Witch (スノウウィッチ, Sunō Witchi): Voiced by: Saori Hayami (Japanese); Maureen Price (English); A very soft spoken and kind member.

Kurena Kukumila (クレナ・ククミラ, Kurena Kukumira) / Gunslinger (ガンスリンガー, Gansuringā): Voiced by: Sayumi Suzushiro (Japanese); Erica Mendez (English); An active and caring girl, her parents were murdered by Alba soldiers in the past and her sister was conscripted into another 86 unit, never to be seen again. As a result, she carries intense hatred against all Albas. Kurena has feelings for Shin, and dislikes Lena both because of her race and the close relationship she forms with Shin. Despite this she grows to care, respect her though she is not very honest about it.
Dustin Jaeger (ダスティン・イェーガー, Dasutin Iēgā) / Sagittarius (サギタリウス, Sagitarius): An Alba and new member of the squadron who volunteered after growing tired of the blatant hypocrisy of his people, citing how he and his family, immigrants from the Empire, were never branded traitors due to being Alba, whereas his entire class, comprising many races, was branded traitors and 86, dying in the decade-long legion war. He has feelings for Anju who he confesses to; though she considers him important to her she has yet to fully answer him, due to her lingering feelings for the deceased Daiya.

San Magnolia

She works in the Research Division, specializing in the "Para-RAID" device that allows Handlers to instantly connect with the 86 combatants under their command. The device was partially created by her late father. It is revealed she is Shin's childhood friend and that she still feels guilty for not helping him and his family when the war began, but hides behind a mask of apathy which strains the relationship between her and Lena.
Jérôme Karlstahl (ジェローム・カールシュタール, Jerōmu Kārushutāru): Voiced by: Satoshi Mikami; A Colonel in the San Magnolia military and a friend of Lena's father. While he cares for Lena like a niece, he at his core is a pessimist and has long been consumed by despair at the situation of the Republic. He believes that the republic deserves to be destroyed for its inhumane crimes against the 86, including himself for standing by and allowing it as a member of the military, as such he continues to perform what is required of him until his end comes. Despite falling out with Lena due to their differing states of mind he continues to watch over her from the side lines and later egging her on to make her dream a reality as he protects her by going out to face the legion. In his final moments he reveals he believes in Lena completely as he ends his own life while facing an old friend among the Legion.
Lev Aldrecht (レフ・アルドレヒト, Refu Arudorehito): Voiced by: Taiten Kusunoki (Japanese); Imari Williams (English); An engineer for the Spearhead squadron. It is revealed that he is an Alba; his wife and daughter were 86, so he dyed his hair and was enlisted as a volunteer to get their rights back (not that the Republic would ever do so). Despite seeming like an irate man, he cares for the remaining squad members and those who come after them. He constantly scolds Shin for his reckless fighting which constantly damages his rig. He dies during the large scale offensive protecting young processors. He asks Shin if his wife and daughter are among the legion, and Shin tells him they are not. However in his final moments Lex desired to take revenge for his family and for his comrades the 86, this leads him to willingly join the Legion to take revenge on the Republic.

Production

One of the inspirations for the series was drone warfare, and the novel explores the logistics and ethics around this form of combat. Another major inspiration was the 2007 film The Mist. As she came up with the fictional ideas of the story, Asato started working on the light novel. Asato had been working on the novel since 2014 and it was only in 2017 that it was published. The setting of the story took a while for the author to come up with. She wanted the story to take place within a fortressed city. However, she switched the idea and finalized the current setting for the series. She usually spend about 6–8 hours a day writing.

Anime

Reception

Novels

The light novel won the Grand Prize at the 23rd Dengeki Novel Prize award in 2016. The light novel also ranked second in 2018 in Takarajimasha's annual light novel guide book Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi!, in the bunkobon category. It ranked fifth in 2019.

Joe Ballard of Comic Book Resources noted the light novel's critical acclaim and called it "a movingly honest portrayal of war, drama, the supernatural, and the shockingly discriminatory views of a nation's general public, 86-Eighty-Six is anything but your standard light novel series." UK Anime News praised the first volume of the light novel, calling it thought-provoking, emotional and incredibly difficult to put down." The Fandom Post found the first volume "not particularly groundbreaking", but was impressed by the subversion of the "bloodless war" theme and found the development of the plot and characters "quite solid."

Anime

IGN listed the show as one of the best anime of 2021. Multiple writers from Anime News Network listed the anime's first season as one of their favorite series from spring 2021, with Steve Jones also naming the second season as his most anticipated for fall 2021.

The Fandom Post gave the show an A−, noting that although the first episode felt stiff and full of "technobabble", the show found its footing by episode two. At the close of season one, the site praised the show's stellar production value, solid animation and music, and beautiful conveyance of its themes. Callum May's review for Anime News Network also noted the series' improvement by episode two, describing the first few episodes as "surprisingly gripping", and offered specific praise for the show's directing, storyboarding, and animation.

The anime was nominated at the 6th Crunchyroll Anime Awards in five categories: Anime of the Year, Best Drama, Best Girl (Vladilena Milizé), Best Score (Hiroyuki Sawano and Kohta Yamamoto), and Best Voice Artist Performance – Portuguese (Hannah Buttel as Vladilena Milizé).

Notes

The series premiered on April 10, 2021 at 24:00 (effectively, April 11 at 12:00 a.m. JST).
