Distribution: Comic shop, bookshop e onlinePlanet Manga presents Blame! Master Editionan edition in six large-format volumes collected in a collector’s box of the master’s timeless masterpiece Tsutomu Niheithe author who in the late nineties rewrote the canons of science fiction.
Extreme architectures, boundless and at the same time claustrophobic environments, icy steel, sentient machines and an immense city determined to eliminate all forms of life: these are the foundations of the dystopian universe of Blame!.
The protagonist of the story, Killy, is looking for individuals in possession of the “gene for network terminals”, specific markers that allow those who own them to access the infrastructure that manages and controls the City, an immense urban agglomeration in constant expansion. Armed with his (now iconic) black pistol, Killy will have to face the dangerous guardians of the City, also looking for the “gene for network terminals”, in a violent and seemingly impossible endless exploration.
Tsutomu Nihei, mangaka and architect, builds his horror / sci-fi masterpiece through a series of incredible contradictions: tables rich in detail alternate with minimal scenes, while gloomy, narrow and claustrophobic environments intersect with dizzying infinite chasms. Nihei’s trait is unmistakable, as is his ability to involve (and upset) the reader through the meanders of a setting that he has made Blame! one of the most popular manga ever.
In 2017 the homonymous animated film directed by Hiroyuki Seshita and distributed internationally by Netflix was based on the manga.
