After several years, I’ve finally picked up the second volume of a series I quite enjoyed: BLAME! This is a manga series by Tsutomu Nihei, whose other manga series include fan favorites such as Knights of Sidonia, Aposimz ,and Kaina of the Great Snow Sea, among others. Science fiction rules the day here, with some toes dipped into horror elements.
