BLAME! 

A manga about a man named Kyrii who wanders through an ever growing cybernetic mega structure in search of Net Terminal Genes.

One of the greatest sci-fi manga you will ever find. Tsutomu Nihei’s experience as an architect shines through in the sprawling landscapes of towering buildings that gives his work a sense of scale you just don’t find in other artists. This is one of the ultimate “show, don’t tell” stories I’ve ever seen.

I feel a little bad for Nihei because it’s really hard not to compare his other titles like Knights of Sidonia and APOSIMZ to the excellence of this debut work.

We’ve done a Retrospective on this.

Available from Kodansha Comics.
