Manga: BioMega by Tsutomu Nihei



Picked this up today! It's BioMega by Tsutomu Hihei. Well, it was a random pick. I saw it on the shelf, read the back, flipped through a couple of the pages and decided to get it! This was actually a very good read! The story/blurb on the back is this:

"A virus called the NS5 virus has swept across the earth, turning most of the population into zombie-like drones. Zoichi Kanoe, an agent of TOA Heavy Industry, is humanity's last hope, and he's not even human! With the help of Fuyu, a digitized intelligence built into the computer system of his heavy dual coil motorcycle, Zoichi's search for the key to salvation will take him on a journey across surreal landscapes and hurl him into battle against mind-bending evil. Prepare yourself for the ultimate trip - Prepare yourself for the world of BioMega."

"Zoichi Kanoe plunges into the depths of 9J0 - an island city in the middle of the pacific ocean - in search of Eon Green, a girl with the power to transmute the NS5 virus. He's not the only one looking for her, though... Agents of the Public Health Service's Compulsary Execution Unit are also in hot persuit. Zoichi and his transhuman allies have no time to waste; the countdown to the zombie apocalypse has begun!!"

This story is sci-fi/cyberpunk with horror/zombie themes. It was very good!! I'll be picking up the other ones as well!! It also looks like it's an ongoing series, so there'll be plenty of new issues to check out!! Anyway, Check it out!!
