Dived into the Abyss Yet?
For those new to the series, *Made in Abyss* began as a manga in 2012, created by Akihito Tsukushi and serialized on Web Comic Gamma. The story revolves around Riko, a young orphan from the town of Orth, which sits at the edge of a vast vertical hole known as the Abyss. This mysterious chasm is filled with ancient technology, bizarre creatures, and untold secrets, drawing adventurers like Riko's mother, Lyza, a renowned White Whistle Cave Raider who vanished within its depths.
Riko, driven by the dream of following her mother's footsteps, embarks on a perilous journey into the Abyss. Accompanied by Reg, a mysterious half-robot boy with no memory of his past, the duo faces the daunting challenge of descending into the unknown, fully aware that they might never return.
The *Made in Abyss* saga has since expanded beyond the manga, with an anime adaptation in 2017 and a sequel film, *Dawn of the Deep Soul*, released in Japan in 2020. Additionally, in 2022, Chime Corporation developed a console and PC RPG, *Made in Abyss: Binary Star Falling into Darkness*, further enriching the series' universe.
