Ranked #117 in Science Fiction Manga, this edition offers rich character development, exclusive bonus content by CLAMP, and a durable binding, making it a must-have collector’s item for both new readers and longtime Gundam fans. ## Description With the Federation's White Base now on Earth and his assault carrier loaded with civilians, Bright Noah must now navigate his ship safely through enemy occupied territory. Unfortunately on his tail are a host Zeon troops. Lead by the Commander of North American Earth Forces, Captain Garma Zabi, a fleet of aircraft is preparing to lay siege on the Federation ship with ambitions to capture its new Mobile Suit. But before the Zeon make their move in the American desert, an old acquaintance of Garma's has arrived. Lt Char Aznable, known on the field of combat as The Red Comet, followed the White Base from space and is here to on a reconnaissance mission to gain information on the Federation's new suit. To prove his worth, Garma engages the Feds soon after his brief reunion. The results were not ideal. In fact, the Federation may have found new weapons for their defense in the process. And Garma, who led the charge himself, was fortunate to survive this first confrontation. Now with the White Base heading towards South America, and word of an insurgence movement developing, Garma must find a way to quash the Federation's plans...There is no turning back! Review: "The glory of victory will be yours!" - The second volume of the Origin series re-released by Vertical captures the story of Garma Zabi from one of his first appearances all the way to his last. The White Base has entered the atmosphere but has veered off course and landed in Zeon-controlled North America. This deadly detour has them encountering the youngest son of Degwin Zabi, and his armada of Gaw attack carriers, Dopp Fighters, and Magella Attack Tanks. The White Base must fight its way through North America with little supplies and almost no help while being constantly barraged by Garma's forces and Char's personal Mobile Suit! Meanwhile, Amuro finds a close family member in a town nearby and struggles with being in a war situation and not being able to reconnect the way he wants to. With the life of the crew riding partially on his shoulders, he must make the decision to continue fighting for the Federation and take down the Zeon forces that he encounters! So, this second book is in the same, nice manga-style format with a hardcover and slightly larger size. The cover is subtle (although there are many other covers that would go with this story that I would have liked to have seen instead as the cover) but wonderfully done with a nice back cover featuring White Base as well. The story is really like watching an anime as it immerses you into the story very quickly and you really don't come out of it. This is one of those book that, given the time, you'll read it from front to back; despite the 432-page-count the book sports. Once again, there are beautiful watercolor pages scattered throughout (usually at the beginning or end of an act) and more action sequences than you can shake a Beam Saber at! The story's changed just enough that you can read it even if you have an expert knowledge on the anime but it stays true enough that it doesn't piss you off with needless changes to the plot. I was mistaken on the review of the first book in stating that it was a sewn binding but the glued binding is really well done (enough to fool me!) The only extra here is a little interview piece with CLAMP and an art piece drawn by them along with some of the related Origin covers. Overall, yet another fun read and definitely, above all other Gundam mangas, the one to get if you're a fan or even if you're not! The best part is, the best parts of the story are still yet to come! Review: What Gundam Fans Deserve. - Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin is an amazing addition to the Gundam franchise, and vol. 2 holds true to that. Tominos First Gundam was the first series to start it all, but due to an early cancellation it never got the chance to fully flesh out the characters and story lines. And over 30 years later it gets a release it deserves (in the states). The characters are truly fleshed out in these volumes. For example, in the original T.V. series you simply know who Garma is and his relation with Char. In this book, Garma is given more dimension and his relationship with Char becomes more fully realized. The characters are drawn in a way that gives more emotion and attachment to what is currently going better than the Anime and First Gundam Manga Serialization titled Mobile Suit Gundam 0079. The extras with that go along with this product are quite nice as well. The small art gallery, fully painted in the back of the book, is just gorgeous. Some of which I would love to have a full size painting of so I could display them in my home. And then the extra commentary by CLAMP in the back was a nice read as well. I normally cant get into those sorts of things but this actually kept me reading it. Also, the CLAMP style of Amura Ray in the back was a nice touch, not my favorite style of art but you can really tell how much they respect First Gundam and what it has done for the Anime community. Overall, this was a great purchase. A nice hardback copy, great quality pages, artwork surpassing many of todays works, and a story that pulls you in and holds you there whether your new to Gundam or a long time fan. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #67,727 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #117 in Science Fiction Manga (Books) #239 in Media Tie-In Manga (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 out of 5 stars 610 Reviews | ## Images ![Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin, Vol. 2- Garma - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71c2IkGSLEL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "The glory of victory will be yours!" *by B***R on July 2, 2013* The second volume of the Origin series re-released by Vertical captures the story of Garma Zabi from one of his first appearances all the way to his last.

I seen the first volume at my local Barnes and Nobel, and decided to pick it up. Never being fully immersed in the Gundam series before (I've only watched Gundam Wing on Toonami when I was younger), I found that this was a great place to start acquiring my Gundam lore. The first volume was excellent, and this one picks up plasma cannons blazing! Although I'm only half way through this volume, I had to stop by and write a review for this! I love the political intrigue in this story (which was one of the reasons I loved Gundam Wing), and the mature subject matter; which seems to be rare in a shounen series (Death Note not included). I find it refreshing to read a series like this, and I plan to collect the entire series via these volumes. The presentation is top notched with beautiful artwork and a hardcover binding. At the beginning of each part, the art is done in superb watercolors, which makes me wish that the artist did this through the entire book. The battle scenes with the Mobile Suits are outstanding, and makes me hunger for more of this! The upside of buying this on Amazon is that it's $10 cheaper than you'd pay at a Barnes and Nobel store. However, even at $30 per volume at B&N, it's well worth it! For Gundam and Mecha fans, this series is a must buy! ## Frequently Bought Together - Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin, Vol. 2- Garma - Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin, Vol. 3- Ramba Ral (Gundam Wing) - Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin, Vol. 1- Activation --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/1704495-mobile-suit-gundam-the-origin-vol-2-garma](https://www.desertcart.be/products/1704495-mobile-suit-gundam-the-origin-vol-2-garma) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-10-31*
