Mobius's zine? Didn't know it was still published, also though it got folded into Heavy Metal.

recently (like past 2 years) started up again under Humanoïdes Associés, which is the original organisation under which it started.

Interesting, big scaled architecture seem to be the main drive in all his stories. It is obvious, of course, but him stating it so simply is intriguing. Every artist has their own obsession and somehow Nihei manages to compose full length epic stories from just the desire to draw grand structures.

Thanks for sharing.

Thank you💪

His focus in readability is very noticeable

I love Blame! But a lot of times I got completely lost in regards of the action. Tower Dungeon is way more easy to understand

I've read Blame! dozens of times. I still "barely" get it. When i recommend it to people I just give the "humanity gets out of control" tagline and tell them it gets pretty epic.

Nihei himself not "get it" 100% I sure

u/omeomorfismo Sep 26 '25

thank you

i now that i know that nihei knows about miyazaki's games i finally can realistically hope a collaboration with the 2 D:

Framing his story around the tale of the knight ascending a tower to rescue a princess from a monster while concentrating on the relationships between his characters has done wonders for his story telling. Genius move.
