Tower Dungeon 1

Tsutomu Nihei, master of the mysterious architectural monolith, brings his genius to the fantasy genre for the very first time!

Having established himself with hit series like Blame! and Knights of Sidonia, Tsutomu Nihei has created a gritty, dark fantasy world populated with evil sorcerers and unique undead horrors. The ingenuous farmboy Yuva must accompany a contingent of knights through the increasingly dangerous floors of a massive tower on a desperate mission to rescue the princess.

When an evil necromancer slays the king and carries off his daughter, secreting her in the legendary Dragon Tower, the Royal Guard assays the stronghold. To supplement their forces in the face of mounting casualties, they press ordinary folks into service—including Yuva, a sturdy young farmboy with a strong back but no experience in battle, armed only with a battered old helm and a wooden shield.

Gird your loins, heft your blade, and enter the Dragon Tower. Nihei brings his unique sensibility to bear on a crumbling world of malformed creatures, wounded soldiers, and labyrinthine darkness!
