Mobile Suit Gundam: Awakening, Escalation, Confrontation

機動戦士ガンダム

by Yoshiyuki Tomino, Haruhiko Mikimoto, Yoshinobu Aohachi

In 1979, before the end of the anime, Yoshiyuki Tomino himself created the first novelizations of the original Gundam anime series. The novels, issued as a series of three books, allowed him to depict his story in a more sophisticated, adult, and detailed fashion. Along with this adaptation came several major changes to the story. (Source: Wikipedia)
