Andromeda Stories Vol.2 by Keiko Takemiya
Machines have infiltrated the peaceful Cosmorian Empire and assumed the identities of Emperor Itaka and several key officials. When royal twins are born to the Empress Lilia, one is covertly spirited away from the mother in defiance of an ancient code that forbids two surviving heirs. As the planet becomes consumed by the machines, the only hope lies in the valiant Prince Jimsa and Affle, who was raised by a prostitute, unaware of her royal origins.
Born in Tokyo in 1928, Ryu Mitsuse graduated from Tokyo University of Education with a degree in the sciences, after which he took up the study of philosophy. He debuted with Sunny Sea 1979 in 1962, and his work--which often combines Eastern philosophy and hard science fiction--includes Tasogare ni kaeru (Returns in the Twilight) and Ushinawareta toshi no kiroku (The Chronicle of a Lost City). Mitsuse made SF history when his short story The Sunset, 2217 A.D. was translated into English for inclusion in Best Science Fiction for 1972. With artist Keiko Takemiya, he created the manga Andromeda Stories. Ryu Mitsuse died in 1999.
