Manga review: Blame!
STORY: 6
Meet Killy, a mysterious man with a few words in a future where even the concepts of time and space seem to be lost. His mission is to find a human whose genes have not been altered too much. Those genes are the only way for humans to re-establish contact with the net sphere, a space or entity that is cut from the rest of the world, in order to remove the looming threat of annihilation.
Silicon life, Toha Heavy Industries, Safeguards, the plot can be confusing sometimes, so, if you cannot get in its particular flow, the story for you will simply be “a boy with a big gun goes up a LOT of stairs, looking to repair wifi”.

I’d honestly rate the art higher. This isn’t generic isekai or shonen styling, it’s an aesthetic. I generally like manga with “grittier” art though like Dorohedoro or Berserk.
@exu Yes the art has so much personality, but I found that some people hate it. I love the titles you mention, in a similar vein there’s Takahashi Tsutomu (and Jiro Matsumoto if you can stand his gratuitous violence).
And, in a different style of gritty, Atsushi Kaneko is so great.
Thanks for the recommendations. Any particular manga to get into those authors?
@exu
Takahashi Tsutomu: he did so many genres, you can just pick one you are interested in:

Jiro Matsumoto: you can start with the ‘more’ accessible Alice from hell

Atsushi Kaneko: this one that I have reviewed
