It is dying. Crossing a desert is the optimistic Delos accompanied by the young girl, Prome. Thirst is weighing on Delos while Prome seems uncaring about it, promising that she can draw water from the air to provide for him, bout Delos doesn't like the method of delivery. When he spots an oasis, he quickly realizes it's a trap. A monster luring prey. However, spears fly and those who live in the desert that Delos and Prome search for have found them. The scarab tribe, demi-humans that have evolved alongside their domesticated, giant beetles have found them. But they're not happy to discover a pair of humans in their territory. Delos will have to fight for his life to save the very people that want to kill him. Because the Empire of Olympus are coming with their towering Giganto, a god chained and harnessed to their will. They seek to exterminate, and only Delos, with the aide of the strange Prome, have a chance of defeating the giant. This is a fun and imaginative manga, teasing us of a vastly greater world in this simplistic story. The fighting style in it is great, with Delos a wrestler. The art is as gorgeous and detailed as you would expect from the creator of BERSERK. Delos carefree attitude and good-nature humor contrast with the robotic and detached Prome. Their back and forth is great. It's an exciting story that keeps you turning the pages to find out what happens next. At the end, it leaves you wishing for more stories about Delos and Prome's mission to save this dying world from extinction. He gives a tease of would could be a long and satisfying series. You can feel the thought and world building lurking just off the page, begging to be explored. More fantasy than science fiction, it still has elements of it, hinting at how far human technology had grown before collapsing into the new paradigm. It's a celebration of the hardiness of life and the survivability of the human spirit. This was one great graphic novel to read! Review: Buy it. - It’s a one shot. Makes you wish it was 3 mangas long. The storyline makes you want more. If you love Kentaru Miuras Art you will appreciate this one shot.

Beautiful Glimpse...
...into the world of Giganto Maxia. Miura delivers panel after panel of amazing art, while also setting the stage for a shattered world under the thumb of an evil empire to be liberated by a powerful wrestler and his spirit companion. I'd love to see more of this world, but that's not a possibility anymore. Love this man's work. RIP Miura.

Pretty dope post apocalyptic take on Attack On Titan.
The Great Roar of the Astral World is an event which brings about the merging of the Physical World and Astral World into one – the global Interstice of Fantasia. Consequently, an influx of astral creatures enter the world of man, thus leaving Griffith's capital city of Falconia as the sole safe haven from malign astral creatures.

Leaves You wanting more
there is a little to no background on the characters but they are interesting and the world is very interesting and exciting. Wish it was a one shot but longer. Worth a read!

A bold creative story of cosimc horror and hope
This is a boldly creative story and world that only Kentaro Miura could make come to life. High fantasy, scientific objectivity, and cosmic horror combine to tell a deeply human story. A story of hatred and compassion, heroism and villainy, division and understanding, victory and failure, and most of all hope and determination. I won't lie there is some very odd humor in this book, but a must read for anyone who loves fantasy or comics, or just likes good stories.

Beautiful art, great world.
Without going into it, it is short and the characters aren't too in-depth but it is a very enjoyable read and 100% worth picking up if you are interested. It's not very dark like Berserk, just interesting and enjoyable.

From the brilliant mind of Kentaro Miura. Best read for any manga enthusiast.

Un manga muy entretenido, con muchos toques de humor, peleas, mucho texto (tarde como 2 horas en terminarlo) y con un pequeño mensaje ecológico que te hace pensar y todo aderezado con el gran dibujo de Kentaro Miura. Si eres fan de Berserk es una buena elección y sino también.

Consegna rapida, tempi perfettamente rispettati. Il prodotto si presenta come da descrizione, non risulta particolarmente resistente. A livello di storia, il volume è molto d'intrattenimento, la trama interessante anche se breve. I disegni rispecchiano pienamente lo stile dell'autore.

Je l'ai acheté en cadeau à mon copain qui est un énorme fan de Berserk. Il ne l'a pas encore lu mais il était très content et surpris! Le livre est arrivé en bon état.
