Made in Abyss (Manga)	comment	Made In Abyss is a Seinen adventure manga by Akihito Tsukushi, serialized via Takeshobo's digital publication Web Comic Gamma. So despite the cutesy looks of the main characters, don't be fooled for even a second.The story follows Riko, an orphan who dreams of becoming a great cave raider, much like her mother, and solving the mystery of the Abyss. The Abyss is an unexplored enormous cave system inhabited by strange and wonderful creatures, along with mysterious artifacts. Generations of bold adventurers have been drawn by the cryptic depths of the Abyss, and over time came to be known as "Cave Raiders". Much of the Abyss remains shrouded in mystery, not only because of how the wildlife gets increasingly hostile and dangerous as one descends further down, but also because of "the Curse of the Abyss", a strange affliction that strikes anyone who tries to return to the surface after exploring the Abyss; the severity of said "curse" varies upon how deep one goes into the depths, from nausea and dizziness on the upper layers, to spontaneous bleeding from every orifice, unconsciousness, madness, and strange mutations on deeper layers, to the point where, as far as everyone knows, trying to return from beyond the fifth layer is a certain death sentence.One day exploring the murky depths Riko stumbles upon a unconscious little boy, who turns out to actually be a Deceptively Human Robot. Upon awakening the robot turns out to have a meek, but friendly personality and suffering from severe memory loss, having no idea who he is, where he came from, and how he came to be where he was found. Riko befriends the robot and takes him under her wing, giving him the name "Reg", and brings him along to the surface. Not much later, a mysterious letter for Riko arrives from the far depths of the Abyss. The writer of said letter claims to be Riko's long lost mother, Lyza, a famously bold and hardy Cave Raider and explorer, telling her to come to the bottom of the fabled seventh layer of the Abyss, where she is waiting for her. Included in her letter are descriptions and drawings of beings found on the lower levels of the Abyss, which much to Reg's interest include a sketch of a figure who closely resembles himself. Compelled to find her mother, Riko then bids farewell to her friends and departs to the Abyss along with Reg in search for her mother, despite knowing of the risks and the fact that due to the Curse of the Abyss, she will never be able to return.An anime adaptation by Kinema Citrus aired in Summer 2017, covering the first three volumes. Volume 4 and 5 were adapted in a feature film called Made in Abyss: Dawn of the Deep Soul, released on January 17, 2020. In January 2022, it was announced that the first season will air on Toonami. A second season (with the subtitle The Golden City of the Scorching Sun) aired in Summer 2022 and adapted volumes 6-10. In January of 2023 a third season was announced.A video game by Chime Corporation, titled Made in Abyss: Binary Star Falling Into Darkness, was made for Nintendo Switch, Playstation 4, and Microsoft Windows. It released on September 1, 2022 in Japan, published by Spike Chunsoft, and September 2, 2022 in North America and Europe, published by Aksys Games and Numskull Games respectively. Like the work it's based on it pulls no punches, having violent content warnings in all regions' video game ratings.Also has a Spin-Off Anthology series featuring shorter works by various creators, Made in Abyss: Official Anthology. Also see Gears Maiden, the author's previous work which inspires most of the manga's artwork.The manga has very frequent graphic content and realistic body horror, so it is not recommended for the faint of heart or stomach and not for all audiences. That said, there's a huge payoff in action, mystery, and a unique fantasy for viewers to commit to. It's well known for being voted best anime of 2017 by the Crunchyroll awards.

Made in Abyss (Manga) / int_14ed6ab7	type	Does This Remind You of Anything?
Made in Abyss (Manga) / int_14ed6ab7	comment	Does This Remind You of Anything?: Iruburu and Orth mirror each other. In Orth, people leave the town to travel into the abyss, to collect artifacts, which are exchanged for money. The high mortality rate of abyss explorers provide the town with a continuous supply of orphans. In Iruburu, the citizens canâ€™t leave the town, and would be considered living artifacts, by Orthâ€™s standards. Instead of artifact hunting, the Iruburu citizens harvest their own bodies for wealth. Its almost as if Iruburu is Orth, with the â€˜explorationâ€™ piece removed. Several of the constructs in the story obey MMORPG rules; such as upper level creatures being semi-passive with very small territories theyâ€™re reluctant to leave. You have the level 6 power players with cool artifacts and armor sets, which make them virtually unstoppable. Then you have Ozen, the power-leveler helping newbs, and Bondrewd the griefer. Played for Drama in Chapter 43. While she takes a walk through the Hollow Village, Riko is lured into a dark alley, where she is attacked by a group of monstrous Hollows. If Majikajya's earlier explanation is to be believed, the guys want to dismember her to harvest her extremely valuable body parts (one of them does rip off a chunk of her hair), but the way they drag her into the alleyway, tugging at her clothes and restraining her with their sticky tendrils, makes the scene look like the beginning of a Naughty Tentacles Hentai. Thankfully, she is rescued before they can hurt her. Although Riko was born the normal way, she also experienced an elaborate metaphor for childbirth. She was born in the fifth layer of the Abyss, put in a giant box-shaped relic—which stretches open to reveal a fleshy womb-like interior—and pushed up to the surface by her mother Lyza (with help from Ozen, Lyza's close friend and midwife). She was actually stillborn, but the box brought her to life during the ascent, making her metaphorically born from the Abyss itself.

Made in Abyss (Manga) / int_1b465242	comment	Conditioned to Accept Horror: Orth is a town with an economy dependent on exploring the dangerous Abyss. Its inhabitants, down to every last child, are fully aware death while cave-raiding is just part of the job, and have since accepted that as a regular part of life, to the point where they can be seen as remarkably blasÃ© about tragic or frightening circumstances. Dialed up well above 11 with Iruburu, where horror is their economy. Dialed up well above 20 with their predecessors, the Ganja Corps. At least one person is snatched up by a predator, and mutate a la Mitty long before the monster gets around to eating them. Before being snatched up, they were probably already fatally poisoned by the local food supply.

Kiyui catches it, but suddenly and inexplicably recovers when he's taken to a boat off the shore of the island... implying that the illness comes from the Abyss, and isn't a disease in the usual sense.

Made in Abyss (Manga) / int_3b79029a	comment	Crapsaccharine World: The town of Orth is a lively place; cave Cave Raiders are treated like celebrities and heroes, there is almost nowhere you can go without witnessing a splendid view worth a thousand words, artifacts are worth good money and have varied effects that are, if not convenient, at least a good source of entertainment, and people seem generally content with their lot in life. Even the Belchero Orphanage isn't exactly what one would consider an Orphanage of Fear - orphans are given education and job training, and the heads running them are well-meaning and reasonable, if stern. Of course, the rosy and idyllic image of the town is made unsettling considering the rampant child labor, with children being fully expected to work and/or explore the Abyss before they hit puberty, and even dreaming of going down to more dangerous depths. Cave Raiders are treated as martyrs, and their offspring are inspired to follow in their parents' dangerous footsteps. These circumstances however have helped the main characters become Conditioned to Accept Horror for when they do go down into the Abyss and made them mentally resilient enough to weather horrors and predicaments that would completely debilitate a child from a culture with standards more closely aligned with the developed world of reality.

Made in Abyss (Manga) / int_504a1991	comment	Body Horror: The various creatures of the Abyss have a plethora of ways to play merry hell on the human body. Evisceration, poison, swelling, parasitism and much more. In addition, there's the form the "Curse of the Abyss" takes when a Cave Raider ascends from the sixth level: it inflicts such havoc on their body that everyone accepts the reality that there is no returning once you've reached that level. When Riko and Reg enter the Fourth Layer, Riko gets lanced in the arm via a large porcupine monster's quill laced with venom and Reg has to bring her away before they all die from the porcupine's persistent attacks. However the only escape was up, so Riko is forced to endure the Curse while being poisoned by the quill and starts hemorrhaging from every orifice. The combined pain gets so bad that Riko practically begs Reg to amputate her poisoned arm, which Reg botches the bone-breaking and slicing procedures of. Thankfully, Nanachi came to help and was able to save the arm and Riko's life. After being forced to ascend from the Sixth Layer, Mitty was transformed into a grotesque blob of flesh. The handiworks of Bondrewd the Novel hold truest to this trope. Each revelation just keeps topping the horror of the previous. The members of the Ganja Corps have their bodies warped by the water they're drinking, turning hard and into a stone-like substance. This causes their bodies to sort of bloom outwards to resemble the bark you would see around a tree, but without the wood the bark surrounds. The hands and feet are affected first, turning into what looks like tangled roots. Obviously it kills them, but leaves their face visible, so people always knows who the person was. It turns out that the water was actually a parasitic organism and the pool they were collecting it from was the remains of a creature that it killed the same way. Ozen is the poster child for The Baroness. We get told her odd hairstyle is to cover battle scars. And then there's the 120 or so barbs embedded in her body.

They are algae eaters, but they are ferociously territorial and will attack whatever trespasses into their feeding grounds, making themselves the most dangerous animals in the entire layer. A particularly large, aggressive specimen considers the entire central column of the Abyss to be its territory, and is responsible for the deaths of over a hundred Cave Raiders. A lesser inversion-example is the hippo-like creature they meet during Ozen's training session, which attacks Riko when she tries to take water from its pond, and later tackles Reg and hurls him into a tree for no particular reason. This is very much Truth in Television for real hippos, which are herbivores but also extremely territorial and aggressive.

Made in Abyss (Manga) / int_6d8b4e42	comment	Fantastic Flora: Orth's national flower is the Eternal Fortune, or the Flower of Persistence. It's a five-petal white flower that grows nearly everywhere in the Abyss, not picky at all about what altitude, nutrients, or space is available as long as it can set its roots in something. It's multipurpose too, as people use it for ornamental gardening, incense, drying into a cooking spice, and scattering for celebrations ranging from birthdays to funerals. Extreme examples exist in the depths of the Abyss. The petrified trees in the First Layer appear to still be alive, with green leaves and stone trunks, and it just gets stranger from there. The Forest of Temptation on the Second Layer is made up of plants found only in the Abyss. These look fairly normal, other than having enormous root systems and pointing toward the center of the cavern. Then, they all flip upside down when the Forest inverts itself. Lower down, the Fourth Layer is named for the Cup of Giants, massive goblet-shaped plants that fill with water as adults but are protected by acid as saplings. These replace each other in 2000 year cycles.

Here, the trees' crowns form solid surfaces that cave raiders can hop between to get to either the Seeker Camp for shelter or the sides of the Abyss where the wildlife is less aggressive, though the extreme updrafts in the area make this more dangerous than it looks. The Forest of Temptation is the first part of the Abyss where encounters with deadly and deceptively intelligent wildlife are common.

Made in Abyss (Manga) / int_9bee1a7f	comment	Eldritch Location: The Abyss is littered with treasures unique to the rest of the world, some with miraculous and physics-defying properties, and is home to entire worlds divided between the layers, each carrying their own host of monsters and mysteries. Not to mention what happens if one were to try climbing back out. Most importantly, those who spend a long time exploring the Abyss tend to start surrendering pieces of their humanity to it, physically and/or psychologically. Even those whose personality remains mostly benign, like Ozen, tend to gain a serving of Blue-and-Orange Morality. The Village of Iruburu has distinct rules separate from those that govern the rest of the Abyss. The curse doesnâ€™t exist within it. The village itself operates as sort of a banker, judge, and jury. When someone joins, their soul is read and dollar values are attached to absolutely everything about them. An act of violence is considered vandalism. All nearby citizens know immediately the dollar value of the damage done, and removes that value from the perpetrator. Even their organs have value, so the value extraction process can get pretty squicky.

The kids supposedly have to hide Reg from the adults so they don't dismantle him, but none of the adults suggest this, it's just what the kids think they would do. The orphanage has one stereotypical Evil Teacher, and Jiruo, who seems highly competent but takes an extremely hands-off approach, to the point of knowingly allowing Riko and Reg to escape into the Abyss as long as he doesn't catch them before they reach the second layer (he doesn't even come close). It would make sense for a skilled adult raider to go with them, and Habolg chases them down to do just that; but Riko convinces him not to. The whole story revolves around discovering what happened to Lyza, the most respected of all Cave Raiders, which is apparently a job for her twelve-year-old daughter, a robot with memory loss, and a mutant rabbit-child... instead of any adult explorers close to Lyza's skill level. So, in that sense, it's played straight. Averted with Ozen. While her approach is brutal, she keeps her people alive, well, and prepared. Seven volumes in, she and her former apprentice are the only two known, benevolent White Whistles.

Made in Abyss (Manga) / int_c2e295cd	comment	Curse: "The Curse of the Abyss". No one on the surface is sure exactly what it is, but there's something within the Abyss that induces increasingly harsh symptoms on raiders attempting to climb back to the surface, making ascension potentially riskier than even exploring. It's explained by Nanachi that the "curse" acts as a sort of weave, filling the Abyss with a sort of energy. It's easy to navigate through going down, but when you try to climb upwards it stabs into you and causes the symptoms. Much like decompression sickness, it gets worse the deeper you go because the amount and "weight" of Curse bearing down on you from above gets exponentially greater the deeper you are. Moreover, it does not apply evenly everywhere, with some crevices and passages being safe simply by virtue of being too deep for the Curse to seep into them. The effects are as follows: Layer One - Light dizziness akin to Decompression Sickness. Layer Two - Heavy nausea, numbness of limbs, headaches. Layer Three - Loss of balance, visual and auditory hallucinations in addition to the above effects. Layer Four - Whole-body pain, bleeding from every orifice. Layer Five - Loss of all sensation, increased likelihood of self-harm. Layer Six - Loss of Humanity, very possibly death. Layer Seven - Certain death (allegedly).

The Belchero Orphanage exploits child labor, but the kids are no more afraid of their instructors than they do a strict parent. In fact, some even enlist in the orphanage to undergo training as cave raiders, hoping to gain a better standing in life.

Made in Abyss (Manga) / int_d1da2c36	type	Played for Drama
Made in Abyss (Manga) / int_d1da2c36	comment	Played for Drama in Chapter 43. While she takes a walk through the Hollow Village, Riko is lured into a dark alley, where she is attacked by a group of monstrous Hollows. If Majikajya's earlier explanation is to be believed, the guys want to dismember her to harvest her extremely valuable body parts (one of them does rip off a chunk of her hair), but the way they drag her into the alleyway, tugging at her clothes and restraining her with their sticky tendrils, makes the scene look like the beginning of a Naughty Tentacles Hentai. Thankfully, she is rescued before they can hurt her.

None of it is connected by any hint of infrastructure or makes any sense. The Capital of the Unreturned is a mostly intact ruin but looks melted and warped.

Made in Abyss (Manga) / int_d525f857	comment	Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Scale: A milder and more fantastical example than most, but the diameter of the Abyss is supposedly "about 1,000 meters." This would make it roughly the size of a golf course, which clearly doesn't make sense given the size of its ecosystem and the city surrounding it. The "correct" size is hard to estimate, but would probably be at least ten times that. Given the nature of the Abyss, though, Alien Geometries could explain this.

Made in Abyss (Manga) / int_d75a1703	comment	Year Outside, Hour Inside: Time seems to run slower the deeper you are in the Abyss, and it's easy to lose the track of time: Ozen claims that one time she made what she thought was a two-week-long trip to the fifth layer, but when she returned to the surface, she discovered she had been gone for months. On the surface, Orth has a funeral tradition that involves dropping flower petals and plaques with the name of the deceased into the Abyss. Reg stumbles across where they land on the sixth layer. The time dilation is so strong that the plaques fall like rain. There are living Hollows in the Sixth Layer that are over 1,900 years old, but going by what Wazukyan says, for them its only been 150 years since they became Hollows.

Nanachi is concerned about this happening to themself, if they were ever discovered. Since most Hollows found so far are unthinking, unreasoning things that Cave Raiders usually Mercy Kill upon encountering, they fear that anyone who discovers them will want to experiment on them to determine why they are an exception. Actually happens at the Idofront. Bondrewdâ€™s crew "examines" Reg, cutting off an arm and nearly taking a leg as well before Nanachi stops them.

Made in Abyss (Manga) / int_e24de818	comment	Cool, Clear Water: Subverted with the series' usual cruelty. Cave Raiders who venture into the Sixth Layer should be very careful when picking water sources, lest they accidentally drink Mockwater, a parasitical organism that disguises itself as a pond of clear, fresh water. It's practically indistinguishable from normal water and it can survive extreme temperatures, so boiling it won't kill it. Once ingested, the Mockwater lays eggs in the host's digestive track and attacks its flesh, dissolving them from the inside out. This creature is what decimates the Ganja expedition.

The ruins of an ancient civilization can be found in the caves, but the scenery generally looks untouched by humanity. Predictably, it's still a hazardous environment where Abyssal predators sometimes kill untrained Cave Raiders.

Not to mention what happens if one were to try climbing back out. Most importantly, those who spend a long time exploring the Abyss tend to start surrendering pieces of their humanity to it, physically and/or psychologically. Even those whose personality remains mostly benign, like Ozen, tend to gain a serving of Blue-and-Orange Morality.
