APOSIMZ 1



The artificial celestial body Aposimz measures 120,000 km in diameter.
Most of its volume is its core space, which is covered by a superstructural shell.

Fifty centuries ago, the people who lost the war against the core lost their right to reside legitimately on Aposimz, and were stranded on the frigid surface.

They face rampant Frame Disease and aggressive automatons which appear frequently on the Ruins Level.

Yet even so, somehow the people survive.

From acclaimed mangaka Tsutomu Nihei, the creator and artist behind BLAME! and Knights of Sidonia, comes his newest Science Fiction epic.


This story takes place on the frigid, massive artificial planet known as Aposimz.

Eo, Biko and Etherow, residents of the White Diamond Beam, are in the middle of combat training when suddenly a girl appears, Rebedoan Empire soldiers in hot pursuit. The girl asks for their help in keeping safe a “code” and seven mysterious “bullets.” This chance encounter marks a major shift in the fate of the entire planet...

Praise for APOSIMZ 1

"I was struck by the artwork and designs, which reminded me of Hayao Miyazaki's Nausica of the Valley of the Wind, one of the greatest manga series of all time.....the prologue contains everything folks like about Nihei's manga stylings but with a few tweaks that give it some unique flavor, too. Which bodes well for the series as a whole." - opuszine.us
