人形の国 [Ningyō no Kuni]

Tsutomu Nihei’s Ningyō no Kuni (2017–2021) is a post-apocalyptic sci-fi manga from Kōdansha, running nine issues. Set in a world where a frozen wasteland is patrolled by giant, deadly automatons, it follows a young boy’s quest to find a safe haven for his people. Known for Nihei’s signature architectural, desolate art style and sprawling, silent landscapes, the series offers a more compact, character-driven tale than his earlier epics, making it a stark, atmospheric gem in his bibliography.
