Mobile Suit Gundam: Awakening, Escalation, Confrontation by Yoshiyuki Tomino

In the world of the near future, an epic war rages between the Earth Federation and the rebel space colonies of side 3 that call themselves the Principality of Zeon. The most fearsome weapons of the new era are the robotic vehicles known as mobile suits.

The Federation has pinned its hopes for victory on its advanced mobile suit prototype, the Gubdam, but when a young cadet named Amuro Ray becomes the pilot of the Gundam, he discovers that machines alone will not be the decisive factor in the conflict. For a new stage of human evolution is dawning, and the future—if humanity has a future—may well belong to the Newtypes.
