«Blame!, tomo 3» is the cyberpunk science fiction manga by Tsutomu Nihei, published by Glénat in paperback (222 pages, in French).
In a colossal city of thousands of levels, Killy, a taciturn cyborg, searches for the net-gene, a program that may have survived contamination by a computer virus. With the scientist Shibo, he traverses labyrinths where flesh merges with metal. The visual narrative prioritises action and a damp, twilight atmosphere with a cyberpunk aesthetic.
Volume 3 of the «Blame!» series; French edition originally published by Glénat on 18 October 2000.
For readers of cyberpunk manga and fans of «Akira» and «Gunnm», for its organic aesthetic and oppressive atmosphere.
