Zusammenfassung
The Abyss, a hole of unprecedented depth—one young girl and a robot brave its dangers to find the truth.
The town of Orth is a special one, as it is built around the edges of the massive Abyss, a wonder which has never been fully explored. Those who venture too far down never return, but those brave enough to traverse its territories are known as "Cave Raiders" and are heralded as legends. Within this town lives a young girl called Riko, the child of one of the most famous Cave Raiders of all time who disappeared on an expedition many years ago.
One day, Riko's life changes when she meets a strange robot called Regu, who seems to appear from within the Abyss. Believing this to be a sign from her mother stuck at the bottom of the Abyss, Riko descends into its depths with Regu, ready to confront all the dangers within it.

Made in Abyss review
I bought some physical copies of the manga because I was a fan of the anime. I read some and I had to stop after I saw something. Sexualization of children in anime/manga is somewhat normalized, so when I see it I usually skip it and pay no mind. Whoever thought of this, drew it, and whoever let this print and major issues. This made me super uncomfortable. It's a shame the artist did such disgusting things because he is very talented, as shown in the shots of the different layers. I give this a 1 out of 10, would not recommend to anyone and
I advise you to stay away.

Made in Abyss review
Without spoiling to my best ability I will try and explain my overall feeling on this manga, and for sure it's a definite must read.. Unless you're not here for a very graphic story that tugs on the very meaning of catharsis. Otherwise if you were looking for something similar to Madoka Magica if even stronger then this is for you.
I found this series out from a post on a social media of all things from a friend back in 2017, stating they had a positive experience with the show. Their post included the opening sequence of 'Underground River' from the anime and well quite literally I was sold. The music by Kevin Penkin just like Tsukushi Akihito's work on backdrops work together to create something that feels almost like a legendary work of art. Art clashes between beautifully stunning to cute quite a lot which compliments it quite a bit and provides relief after an emotional quest. Further into the story I feel like the art improves a lot. I personally recommend listening to the anime's OST while reading for a great experience. After watching the anime and experiencing the emotional roller coaster which makes you feel genuinely sorry and sympathetic for the cast. I decided to hop straight into the manga, given my curiosity at the end was killing me to know what was next. To only experience so much more than the anime ever offered bar the music of course. While to some the pacing can seem too fast for some to build any amount of connection to the characters, however I believe it's warranted. To me the story is about the abyss, well that more than the characters but don't get me wrong. You're in for an amazing story with characters that have morals (or lack there of) and motives and personalities that seemingly contradict why they are why they are. A main reason to what pulled me into this series is the mystery. I love not really being told so much as it builds up the questions every slight time something is kind of brought up. Story: 10 Art: 10 Character: 9 Enjoyment: 10 Overall: 10 Overall I recommend this 100%. Maybe not to someone that is new to manga and anime but absolutely if you're looking for something to get emotionally invested into. |

*SPOILER FREE*
Easily one of my top 10 shows. If you're into exploration and gorgeous scenery, this is your anime. The character and landscape design is one of the best I've seen and the characters are quite original too. The story is also REALLY interesting and truly one of a kind. Gotta say something though, the manga is sometimes a bit weird. I say this because the mangaka sometimes draws the children in a sexualized way, and that's pretty fucked up since they look like kids. If it wasn't by this unfortunate fact, the show would be a SOLID 10/10 in my opinion. I'll still give it a 10, but that's just because I really enjoyed it (besides those unnecessary scenes). |
Made in Abyss review
This manga is, by far, the best I have ever read out of many. An amazing manga, a great show. The anime, however, is not what I am going to cover in this review. TL;DR at bottom if you wish to skip any possible spoilers.
Based on what I have seen, no reader has ever regretted reading it. It is a story of 2 children descending into the Abyss, more or less for reasons of their own, but share a common goal - to learn as much about this Abyss as they can, learn of how they came to be, and find their origins. For Riko, this is through finding her mother, who is supposedly at the bottom of this hole. For Reg, I am not sure. He hopes to regain some memories, and learn more about himself by descending. It was the art that first had me hooked. Akihito Tsukushi is an amazing artist, and this manga is probably the best example of it. Story: 10 Made in Abyss has so much to offer in the story. Throughout the orphanage, down to the Golden City, I have never been bored by this story. The easier times, more stressful times, and emotional times all kept me hooked. I love each and every page, none being wasted for filler. It is not only the descent of Reg, Riko, and Nanachi that is a reason for the story receiving a 10. The amount of lore and small details that can be learned is amazing. Relics, stories of delvers, and the layers add another layer of storytelling that I haven't seen in too many manga. The relics, other delvers, and the characters seen throughout all add depth. Art: 9 The art. Also one of, if not the best art I have seen. Every single panel is a joy to look at, and some panels I have spent 5 or more minutes looking at. The landscaping is beautiful, and the amount of landscape panels makes reading this even more worth it. The character design is also very good, and I like how it somewhat strays from normal drawing. The art does lose a single mark, though. The reason I took a mark of is because some panels are a bit hard to understand what is really going on, mostly with landscape panels. After looking at the panel for a few extra seconds, I can see the layout, and why it was designed the way that it is, but some are a bit messy. The art alone is enough reason to read this. Character: 8 Some of the character growth is hard to see, but the characters do improve after descending and meeting new characters. I mostly see this is Reg, how he grows from the Orphanage to Nanachi. During the time he spends with Nanachi, he seems to learn more of the Abyss. I think Reg is growing more than Riko, at least by what I see. The characters are done very well. A good example of this is Ozen. It is hard to describe why. She almost has this aura around her. I am very excited to see how more characters might get introduced, and how current ones will change. Enjoyment: 10 As I said in the story section, this manga never failed to excite me. Every page wanted me to see, more and more, what happens next. Even during the hardest of times, the stress I felt pulled me in. I feel like in any action/adventure anime or manga, if I don't feel stressed, I'm not getting any enjoyment. This rule doesn't apply to slice of life, of course. Overall: 9.7 I love this manga. Not much more I can say than that. Something about the feeling of the Abyss makes it all that more amazing. This manga is filled with emotion, expressed very well by the art and characters. It is beautiful, both in story and art. I would recommend this to anyone, whether they have read manga before, or haven't even considered it. It is a great read, great watch, and should be on everybody's list. TL;DR: 9.7 The story and the art are amazing. It will rarely, if ever, make you bored. It is worth every minute you spend reading, and I would recommend if you haven't read it, to do so. It is the manga that has never left my memory, and I doubt it will. Some scenes do have to do with children suffering and gore, so beware. Author's note* This is my first review ever. I think this is a good manga to leave my first review on, and I tried my best. I may not be the best writer, but I tried to get my feelings of this manga across as well as possible! If I could make any improvements, I will be sure to make them in my next review, whatever manga or anime that may be. I may also edit this review later on, after more chapters get released. |
Made in Abyss review
THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS
I don’t usually write reviews but this was the first manga I bought in great anticipation, and was quite disappointed. None of the other reviewers explicitly address this so I’m going to highlight it big time — this manga contains pedophilia imagery. I'm docking three points for this because it left a bad taste in my mouth. I tried to justify it when they would tie up children in the air as a punishment for breaking rules. Aight, people strip their children to their underwear and throw them outside. This must be another version; a cultural difference. Okay, so Reg’s ‘realistic’ penis is constantly highlighted… for scientific purposes, right? Oh, an often shirtless Riko. I mean, she is just a kid and me calling this perverted is me unnecessarily sexualising a child right… it’s fine. It has got to be fine. Hold up, progressively detailed chest(s) as the manga goes on??? A number of the female underaged characters squeezing their boobs drawn right on the inner cover???? Describing a bunny hollow thing CHILD’s scent in her pants???? Alright, this is absolutely fucked up. I can’t introduce this manga to anyone sane. I’m trying to make the point that in the beginning of the manga, the pedophilia imagery was mild; I dismissed it as the usual thing in anime/manga. I know that there are certain genres that highlight ‘sexual’ imagery, but this manga was doing so well without it. As the story progresses, it becomes more prominent. I believe this is for fan-service and not a vital part of the story. Who told Tsukisha pedophilia imagery was a good idea? Why did no one stop him from ruining a perfectly good story? Aside from this, the storyline is a perfect escape from reality. It coverts a whole new world with a hole full of mysteries — the best kind of story to get sucked into. There is always something new to discover, something new to experience with the characters. It’s dark but it is also thrilling. You always want to know what will happen next, and what will really come out of their adventure to the seventh layer. There are so many possibilities. The characters are also portrayed so well. I believe choosing to have children as the main characters of the story was a power move. In a world that starts out quite mystical, with the common darkness of poverty and orphan-ry, we meet Riko — a child with big dreams and the will to achieve them. She lives with her friends who are knowledgable and supportive. She finds Reg, an anxiety-ridden robot thing who has lost his memories. Cute, right? But the common darkness becomes pitch black the further they go down the abyss. Gruelling experiences, blood, sacrifices, loss of humanity, accidents, hopelessness all become very real. Still, none of the ‘bad guys’ truly feel like bad guys. The 2m giant lady who tries to smash the little robot into pieces is also the beloved mentor of Riko’s badass mommy. She is terrifying but she means well. The evil man of the 5th layer who grinds up humans and sacrifices children to the curse for scientific research is also, somewhat a doting father. Somewhat. You can’t truly hate him, for he knows too much. It is out of this search for knowledge that he ruins the lives of unloved children. Honestly, I don’t think I have to say much about the rest; everyone covers what a ride this manga is. I really do appreciate and love the story but if it wasn’t for the sexualisation of children, this manga would be a 10/10 for me. |
Made in Abyss review
Spoiler free:
A story about 2 "kids" filled with suspense, adventure, drama and friendship, that knows no limits or censorship, it does feels like youre being sumerged into the abyss of unknown. A challenge on what an action manga is about, original concept, original protagonists, original story, original "antagonist", original plot. This manga for the first time in 10 years gave me hope in the future of anime as a whole. The main theme is mistery and MISTERY is served in great fashion. A bit of criticism: 2 kids as protagonists was a questionable decision for credibility, but it doesnt really matter in the end, also there is some edgy moments, but overall it can be forgiven, and its completely justified to make the plot advance and bring importance into specific characters. I honestly cant recomend this manga enough, read it, you wont regret it. |
Made in Abyss review
This is one of the best Mangas I have ever read. Period. The plot is incredible. It's seeing is extremely well thought out and is amazing on its own. Characters are amazing as well. When you first read this, you get the sense it's for young children. I know when I first watched the anime, I felt that. But once you're into the book you get a real sense that children isn't the target audience. There are some very complex theories put into this book something a child may not completely grasp. The entire story is great, and it's one of the few stories that
has the anime do it justice. In my top 3 best Mangas.

Made in Abyss review
My first thought as the story progressed was this:
"I didn't sign up for this." Don't be fooled by it's light and youthful art and its very young characters. Don't. I honestly thought when I picked up this manga it'll be like Pokemon, Digimon or something that shows a bunch of kids going on an adventure of a lifetime. You know, like a kid friendly show. But I was wrong. So, so wrong. This is anything BUT a kid friendly show. This manga is very, very dark with fantasy and psychological elements mixed in. It has strong gore too and, in my opinion, I'd go far and say that the characters, especially the main protagonists, are created just to suffer. Heck, I'd say that Re:Zero, and Puella Magi Madoka Magica would look like cute, little kittens against this manga. You have no idea how much the first 42 chapters broke my heart. I cried. I mentally screamed. I even almost threw my phone in frustration. Almost. I hate how such young children are forced to go through things that even adults can have a hard time dealing with. Like, are you freaking kidding me? They're just children! They're too young. But even with my complaints, there's no denying the fact that it shows reality; which is really ironic since this is set in a fantasy world. It's real that kids suffer even at such a young age. And aside from that, I can't jump on the ship in this one. The couple in this manga is very obvious. It's already glaring at me. I'm a shipper. I live for the shipping. But not this time. I just can't bear to ship two kids. I mean like, they're freaking kids. I don't care if they're 12 or 13, they still look like 8 year olds to me. And I find the idea of shipping them to be disturbing. Now, I know what you're thinking. What about Sakura and Syaoran from Card Captor Sakura? They're kids too but many people ship them. So what's the matter with the ship in this one? My dear friend, here's the problem. Sakura and Syaoran depicts the innocent side of puppy love. The one that gives you good memories. The one wherein if you recall your first love, it'll bring a smile on your face. It doesn't have too much drama and just light. It's positive. On the other hand, the ship in this one is not. Yes, the two of them are perfect for each other. They handle what the other can't and together, they're really strong. But the fact that they look like they're 8 year olds and this manga has too much sexual innuendoes for me to truly appreciate it, I just can't. I honestly found myself thinking "I wish they were teenagers or older" A LOT while reading this. I kept on seeing a lot of lolis since they're kids (not a fan of too many lolis) and reading about the sexual innuendoes on, let me remind you again, KIDS is really awkward for me. I don't have anything against kids and sexual innuendoes. It's just not my cup of tea. So is the concept of making kids suffer a lot. I'm sure at this point you're wondering, why did I give it a 9 if this review is just full of complaints? That's because this is a masterpiece despite all of my rants beforehand. The art is misleading but beautiful. The concepts, the plot, the characters -- everything is almost perfect. I love the idea of The Abyss and more. So much thought has been put into the story that after finishing a chapter, you're filled with a lot of questions. And in hopes of answering those said thoughts, you can't help but immediately read the next one and ta-da! More questions. And before I knew it, I reached the latest chapter (as of the day this review was written) which was chapter 42. And I had more questions than before. It's mysterious. It's captivating. You get dragged into this world whether you like it or not. This is that kind of story. So at the end of the day, despite my complaints and awkwardness, I'll still continue reading this and watch the anime. I'm emotionally and psychologically invested on the characters and I sure hope they'll have a really happy ending. They deserve it. If you're a fan of dark fantasy and children suffering and sexual innuendoes (on KIDS) is fine with you, then go and pick this one up. You'll be in a really wild and psychologically scarring ride. P.S.: And in case you're wondering if there's nudity involved, yes there is. Story: 9/10 Art: 10/10 Character: 10/10 Enjoyment: 7/10 Overall: 9/10 |
Made in Abyss review
Made in Abyss is one of the very few mangas that I have read in one go, mainly because it draws you into its world through the use of its unique art, story, and characters. One moment the story will show the reader how twisted and disturbing the abyss is and the next will leave you in awe of how beautiful and epic the abyss can appear in certain moments.
Even making a dangerous man-eating creature appear majestic at times. In terms of world-building, it was a good choice to flesh out the abyss and the island it belongs to as beyond the island is not all that important when it comes to Reg and Riko's journey, though it has been talked about a few times throughout the story. Speaking of beyond the island, Bondrewd an antagonist and a wanted man from another country has become one of my favorite antagonists of all time. (Have been obsessed with him for quite a while after reading, though most people who've read the manga probably hate him #bondrewdbestdad) Bondrewd is a man devoted to knowledge and will stop at nothing to pursue it, sacrificing people as a means of acquiring knowledge and has become so warped that he cannot see the wrong in his actions. Along with Bondrewd, the main protagonists Reg and Riko are very likable, Riko is brave and knowledgeable but physically weak and reckless. Reg is physically strong and cautious, but at times acts cowardly and is emotionally dependent on others. And both characters develop throughout their encounters in the abyss overcoming their weaknesses both on their own and through supporting each other. Story 10/10 It may seem like a basic set up for an adventure story, but has many surprising twists and turns in the story. Especially after the point, they meet a character called Nanachi in the story and dive into the Bondrewd arc. Though it was already pretty surprising before that point anyway with how the curse of the abyss affects people when they descend and the things that were revealed about both Riko and her mother. Art 9/10 The Art fits perfectly with this manga giving it a unique look fitting to the story and can transition from light-hearted to dark moments effectively. I also love the design of each layer in the abyss, each having its own look and creature designs unique to that layer. At times it was hard to make out what was going on in a scene, which wasn't that often for it to be a major hindrance. Character 10/10 A lot of well designed and likable characters such as Ozen who has more depth to her than at first glance and is a major link to Riko's mother. Nanachi is a later addition to the main cast, who is shy and distant at first but is found to be kind-hearted yet haunted by her past. Then there are the characters from below the 6th layer that all have strange personalities and have mystery surrounding how they came to be. Also, many of the inhabitants below the 6th layer believe in the importance of possessions, a little more than they should. (my favorite being Majikaja) Enjoyment 10/10 As I said at the beginning couldn't stop reading until I had reached the current chapter and had to wait for the next. Overall 10/10 A must-read for fans of fantasy manga, though don't be fooled by the cover, this is by no means a light-hearted read as it contains quite a few disturbing scenes and dark subjects. And the deeper they go into the abyss the darker it gets both literally and metaphorically. |
