BLAME! 1

In a future version of Earth, there is a city grown so chaotically massive that its inhabitants no longer recall what "land" is. Within this Megastructure, the silent, stoic Kyrii is on a mission to find the Net Terminal Gene.

The Net Terminal Gene is a genetic mutation that once allowed humans to access the cybernetic NetSphere. Armed with a powerful Graviton Beam Emitter, Kyrii fends off waves of attacks from fellow humans, cyborgs, and silicon-based lifeforms.

Along the way, he encounters a highly skilled scientist whose body has deteriorated from a lengthy imprisonment. She promises to help Kyrii find the Net Terminal Gene, once she settles a score for herself... Witness Tsutomu Nihei’s architectural nightmare in the legendary sci-fi epic Blame!
