Made in Abyss

The Abyss is the last great unexplored place on Earth: a colossal, beautiful, and merciless chasm teeming with wondrous relics and horrifying creatures, where climbing back up inflicts a mounting 'curse' that can maim or kill. Riko, an orphan raised in the town on its rim, dreams of following her legendary White Whistle mother into the deep. When she rescues a boy-shaped robot with no memory — whom she names Reg — the two begin a one-way plunge toward the Abyss's bottom. What starts as a whimsical adventure grows steadily darker and more wondrous with every layer, as the pair face impossible choices and unforgettable companions. With gorgeous art wrapped around genuine horror and heartbreak, this acclaimed manga is one of fantasy's most striking and unsettling journeys.
