Dived into the Abyss Yet?

The Made in Abyss series originated in 2012 as a manga by Akihito Tsukushi, serialized on Web Comic Gamma. The story centers around Riko, a young orphan from the town of Orth, which borders a vast vertical chasm known as the Abyss. This mysterious pit is teeming with ancient technology, peculiar organisms, and an eerie allure that has claimed many lives. Riko aspires to emulate her mother, Lyza, a renowned White Whistle Cave Raider who vanished within the depths of the Abyss.

During her journey, Riko encounters Reg, a half-robot boy with amnesia. Together, they embark on a perilous descent into the Abyss, fully aware that their return is uncertain. The manga's popularity led to an anime adaptation in 2017, followed by a sequel film, Dawn of the Deep Soul, released in Japan in 2020. Additionally, in 2022, Chime Corporation released a console and PC RPG titled Made in Abyss: Binary Star Falling into Darkness.
