Blame! Volume 1

Maybe, on Earth… Maybe, in the distant future… In a world called the Megastructure – an incredibly large multi-level labyrinth, inhabited by the last representatives of humanity and all sorts of strange beings of partially or completely non-biological origin – a young man named Killy, overcoming floor by floor, gradually ascends upward. He is searching for Network Terminal Genes, which can connect to the Network Sphere, but there are almost no carriers of these genes left. Will Killy's search be successful? An architect by profession, Tsutomu Nihei has managed to create an amazing, unique world, where technogenic images of the distant future combine with the bleak spirit of post-apocalypse. The manga Blame! is one of the universally recognized masterpieces of science fiction, famous for both its unique artistic style and its unparalleled atmosphere of despair and mystery.
