A prequel to BLAME! that explains the origins of the city. The story follows a young detective as she investigates a cult who are trying to summon safeguards into base reality to cause chaos.

This one is going a bit divisive for fans of BLAME!. I personally like having an official explanation about the origins of the silicon life and the birth of the city but I can also see how this removes that mystery from BLAME!.

There’s also a bonus chapter of Tsutomu Nihei‘s one-shot prototype of BLAME! which is really interesting to see because it shows just how much Nihei expanded on both his art and story before his official debut.

Currently available from Kodansha Comics.

A manga about a small and quiet country town that must deal with a stranger that is a criminal on the run.

Really interesting series. The story setup is almost more suited for a drama than a manga. After young men of the town deal with the stranger they must continue to hide what they’ve done as more people arrive to investigate their small town.

Also the title as very apt as the ‘noise’ of what happens begins to grow out of control.

I’m really interested to see how everything will end up playing out.
