"Queen Millennia," also known as "Shin Taketori Monogatari: 1000-nen Joō," is a manga series created by Japanese manga artist Leiji Matsumoto, which was later adapted into an anime film and TV series. Set in the year 1999, the Earth faces the threat of a collision with a planet named La-Metal. A woman named Yayoi Yukino, who appears to be an ordinary junior high school teacher, is actually the "Millennial Queen" from La-Metal, responsible for observing Earth and preparing for interstellar conflict. However, after interacting with humans, she begins to question her planet's plans and decides to stop La-Metal's invasion, along with a student named Hajime Amamori. The film "Queen Millennia," released in 1982, is a reinterpretation of the TV anime with a more futuristic style and an alternative ending. The story of "Queen Millennia" combines elements of science fiction, adventure, and romance, exploring themes of interstellar conflict, identity, and a sense of belonging to home, making it a classic work by Leiji Matsumoto.
