It's 2225AD and all mankind has populated outposts in the outer reaches of the solar system. The story follows a group of teenage astronauts in-training on a space station. During a routine dive procedure, the space station plummets into a "plasma field" called the Geduld that links all the planets like a nervous system, and crushes any ship that strays too far into it. Unfortunately, all the adult instructors are killed, leaving the trainees to survive on their own via a ship called Ryvius. All seems to be going well until one of them wants ultimate control. Infinite Ryvius has shocked anime fans as it portrays the rivalry, friendship, anxieties, and conflicts of youths placed in extreme situations in a disturbingly realistic way. Unlike the anime the comic is told from the perspective of the heroine of the story not the hero, which provides an interesting twist.
