I really love this one. There's not terribly much to read in this series: it's almost a series of art books. But oh, how Nihei's art stirs my imagination. I love these vast, artificial landscapes, Borges-like in their practical infinity, this world where land is but a memory, lonely, dreary, dangerous, but with little glimmers of hope, little patches of colour all the more vivid against the perpetual grey of the City. The setting is endlessly fascinating, haunting, mysterious, and I could explore it forever.

A dark and mysterious journey the whole way through. It's incredibly atmospheric with very little explanation or context. I've never read a manga (nor graphic novel for that matter) that used their images to do so much story-creation or worldbuilding. It's very unsettling to have a primary character that knows so little about the world they are exploring, which makes for a pretty wild mirrored reading experience. Looking forward to continuing on with the series.
