Dived into the Abyss Yet?
The *Made in Abyss* saga began in 2012 with Akihito Tsukushi's manga, serialized on Web Comic Gamma. The story centers around Riko, a young orphan from the town of Orth, which is situated around a colossal vertical chasm known as the Abyss. This mysterious hole is teeming with ancient technology, bizarre creatures, and an enigmatic past that has claimed countless explorers.
Riko is inspired by her mother, Lyza, a renowned White Whistle Cave Raider who vanished within the depths of the Abyss. On her journey, Riko encounters Reg, a mysterious half-robot boy with no recollection of his origins. Together, they embark on a perilous descent into the Abyss, fully aware that their adventure might be a one-way trip.
The *Made in Abyss* manga was successfully adapted into an anime series in 2017, followed by a sequel film titled *Dawn of the Deep Soul*, which premiered in Japan in 2020. Additionally, Chime Corporation released a console and PC RPG, *Made in Abyss: Binary Star Falling into Darkness*, in 2022, further expanding the universe's interactive storytelling.
