Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honnêamise

The Royal Space Force of the Kingdom of Honnêamise has never sent a man into space and is taken seriously by no one. Shirotsugh, one of its idler members, meets Riquinni, a young woman preaching on a street corner, and her words move him to volunteer as the world's first astronaut. As tension with the neighbouring Republic rises, the launch of a rocket built with a handful of ageing engineers comes to carry both the kingdom's future and one man's answer to how he wants to live.
