Biomega is an ongoing seinen/action manga by Tsutomu Nihei, the creator of BLAME!. Biomega is the second prequel to BLAME! and is the story of how the world in BLAME! became shrouded by the Megastructure.
[edit] Synopsis
Set in the future. It follows a character by the name of Kanoe Zouichi and his AI companion Kanoe Fuyu whose luminous form is integrated into the system of his bike. They are agents sent by a powerful organization (Toha Heavy Industries) to retrieve humans with the ability to resist and transmute the NS5 infection that is spreading across the world.
The art in BioMega is similar to BLAME!, with its complicated concrete sprawl and ludicruously wide, empty spaces. However, things seem to happen at a more reasonable pace. In this manga, there is emphasis on the swiftness of the attacks made by Zouichi, such as the gun being sheathed just before the enemies fall to the ground. Speed is crucial in this manga, unlike in BLAME!, and the plot develops just as quickly. An interesting read, especially if one had enjoyed BLAME!
[edit] Update
Volume 1 was released 2004 and stopped, chapter 11 of Volume 2 was released May 2006, 2 years later in Ultra Jump.
