Dived into the Abyss Yet?
For those unfamiliar with the franchise, Made in Abyss originated as a manga in 2012, crafted by Akihito Tsukushi and serialized on Web Comic Gamma. The story revolves around Riko, a young orphan residing in the town of Orth, which borders a colossal vertical chasm known as the Abyss. This enigmatic abyss is teeming with ancient technology, bizarre creatures, and a gripping mystery that consumes those who dare to explore its depths. Riko aspires to emulate her mother, Lyza, a renowned White Whistle Cave Raider who vanished within the Abyss.
During her journey, Riko encounters Reg, a half-robot boy with no recollection of his past. Together, they embark on a perilous descent into the Abyss, fully aware of the risks they face. The manga's success led to its adaptation into an anime in 2017, followed by a sequel film, Dawn of the Deep Soul, released in Japan in 2020. Additionally, in 2022, Chime Corporation launched a console and PC RPG titled Made in Abyss: Binary Star Falling into Darkness.
