Made in Abyss

Made in Abyss, published by Altraverse since 2018, is a haunting manga series that follows a young orphan and her robot companion as they descend into the enigmatic, cursed chasm known as the Abyss. Written and illustrated by Akihito Tsukushi, the series is renowned for its deceptively cute art style, which starkly contrasts with its dark, body-horror-laced narrative and deep exploration of sacrifice and discovery. With 14 issues to date, it has become a defining modern work for its unflinching world-building and emotional depth.
