Dived into the Abyss Yet?
Originally introduced in 2012 as a manga by Akihito Tsukushi and serialized on Web Comic Gamma, "Made in Abyss" follows the adventures of Riko, a young orphan from the town of Orth, which borders a vast and mysterious vertical chasm known as the Abyss. The Abyss is teeming with ancient technology, bizarre creatures, and a deep-seated enigma that often claims explorers.
Riko, inspired by her mother Lyza—a renowned White Whistle Cave Raider who vanished into the depths—dreams of uncovering the secrets of the Abyss. Her journey takes a turn when she encounters Reg, a half-robot boy with no recollection of his origins. Together, they embark on a perilous descent into the unknown, aware that their return is far from guaranteed.
The manga's popularity led to an anime adaptation in 2017, followed by a sequel film titled "Dawn of the Deep Soul" in 2020. Additionally, in 2022, Chime Corporation released "Made in Abyss: Binary Star Falling into Darkness," a console and PC RPG that further expanded the franchise's reach.
