Ryo Takatsuki begins a new school year expecting an ordinary life, but a hostile transfer student brings a very different future with him. Hayato Shingu attacks with an abnormal left arm, and another mysterious assailant soon threatens Ryo's childhood friend. Under pressure, Ryo discovers that his own right arm is no longer entirely human. The change connects him to others carrying powerful artificial abilities and to organisations pursuing their own plans for human evolution. Nanotechnology, secret experiments and cybernetic opponents pull the young characters into a conflict whose rules they must learn while trying to survive it. Ryoji Minagawa and Kyoichi Nanatsuki combine science-fiction action with the tension of a conspiracy thriller. The transforming weapons supply the spectacle, but the question of how their bearers can keep control of their lives gives each new discovery a more personal cost.

Ancient civilisations left behind technologies powerful enough to change the modern world. Their surviving relics attract governments, soldiers and other groups eager to claim that power. The ARCAM organisation sends its elite agents, known as Spriggans, to keep dangerous discoveries from falling into the wrong hands. Yu Ominae is one of those agents, a young operative whose advanced equipment and combat skills place him between rival forces and the secrets they seek. Ruins become battlefields, archaeological mysteries become urgent missions, and opponents with extraordinary abilities turn each assignment into more than a straightforward recovery operation. Hiroshi Takashige and Ryoji Minagawa combine adventure, military action and speculative archaeology. The appeal lies in the collision of ancient mysteries with modern technology, supported by energetic mechanical artwork and a hero who must decide when the past should be uncovered and when its most dangerous achievements should remain buried.

Best friends Tokio Kurohara and Azuma do everything together, though Tokio always feels like he is stumbling along in Azuma's cooler, more talented footsteps. One night they are attacked by a choujin, a superhuman mutant, and Tokio takes a desperate risk to save his friend: he becomes a choujin himself. Being a superpowered creature is not as glamorous as it sounds. Tokio has to hide his transformation, learn to control a strange body and survive in a world where choujin are feared, hunted and sometimes celebrated. With guidance from Ely, an experienced choujin, he struggles to find an identity that is his own rather than a shadow of Azuma's. Sui Ishida, creator of Tokyo Ghoul, combines quirky humour, body horror and vivid, experimental artwork in this story about friendship, self-worth and becoming who you are.

The City has been growing for so long that no one inside it remembers open ground. Floors stack upon floors without end, split by chasms too deep to see across, and the machines that once built it now hunt the humans who still wander its corridors. Somewhere in this endless structure, humanity lost its link to the Netsphere, the network that once let people control the City, and with it any way of stopping the expansion. Killy, a silent traveller armed with a devastating Graviton Beam Emitter, is searching for one human who still carries the Net Terminal Gene. On the way he passes scattered settlements, cyborg hunters and the merciless Safeguard, and meets Cibo, a scientist whose body has been rebuilt more than once and whose knowledge may matter as much as Killy's weapon. Tsutomu Nihei, whose background is in architecture, tells the journey mostly through space and silence: vast stairwells, rusting bridges, long pages without a word and sudden bursts of violence. BLAME! is a landmark of cyberpunk manga, a lonely, hypnotic exploration for readers who like to get lost in a world.

One night, alien parasites fall silently from the sky. They burrow into human hosts, take over their brains and feed on people while wearing ordinary faces. The parasite meant for high-school student Shinichi Izumi fails to reach his brain and takes over his right hand instead. Shinichi and the parasite, who names itself Migi, are forced into an uneasy partnership: one body, two minds, and neither can survive without the other. As parasites spread through the city, including the cold, curious Ryoko Tamiya, who studies humanity as closely as it studies her, Shinichi fights to protect the people he loves, while slowly changing in ways that frighten him. Hitoshi Iwaaki's horror classic is a gripping, thoughtful story about what makes us human and humanity's place in nature. It won the Kodansha Manga Award and was adapted into an anime, live-action films and a Netflix series.
