overview

In the post-apocalyptic cyberpunk manga, Blame!, an infection sweeps through humanity, causing them to lose control of their City and the mechanical Builders constructing it. With humans now unable to access the Netsphere, the City’s digital network, the Builders continue to construct for thousands of years, creating a deadly, architectural labyrinth of floors spanning over 778,547,200 km. What remains of human society struggles to survive in isolation against hostile Safeguard robots controlled by the Netsphere, which now views humanity as a threat to be eliminated.

Killy, a lone cyborg armed with an all-powerful Gravitational Beam Emitter gun, has no memory of his past. He only remembers his mission: to find the last human carrier of the Net Terminal Gene so that humanity can regain control of the Netsphere, stop the Builders, and put an end to the Safeguard’s murderous rampage.
