Mobile Suit Gundam: We’re Federation Hooligans!!

Mobile Suit Gundam: We’re Federation Hooligans!! (機動戦士ガンダム オレら連邦愚連隊) is a manga series written by Sono Yoshihiro, serialized in Gundam Ace from 2007 to 2009. Set during the final months of the One Year War in UC 0079, the story follows the Nemesis Instructor Corps, an Earth Federation unit tasked with training new mobile suit pilots. The narrative centers on Lieutenant Yuji Arcana, a skilled pilot known as the “Zombie GM,” who is recruited into the unit and faces both rigorous training and combat.

The series blends military drama with humor, as the Nemesis team is portrayed as an unconventional and rebellious group of soldiers. Their interactions and dynamics add levity to the otherwise intense wartime setting. The manga also introduces a variety of mobile suits, including the GM Striker and Gundam Pixy, expanding the mechanical variety in the Universal Century timeline. We’re Federation Hooligans!! spans five volumes and has been well-received for its engaging characters and unique perspective on the One Year War. It also serves as a prelude to Mobile Suit Gundam: Katana, another manga by Yoshihiro set in the post-war era.
