Fafner: Dead Aggressor (2005)

Blurb:
Kazuki Makabe was never an ordinary boy; whatever the sport, he always dominated his peers. He never realized the reason for his superior athletic abilities—a calling that would be revealed only under the direst of circumstances. Based upon the anime, from the producers of Neon Genesis Evangelion, Fafner-Dead Aggressor is the story of a group of children thrust into extraordinary circumstances under the threat of impending war, and the life and death decisions they must make when their talents are put to the test.
