The series BLAME! goes beyond typical Manga. It is just an amazing class in drawing architectural spaces.
Tsutomu Nihei drawings are not the typical manga style, but he uses lots of high contrast ink work and most of the time the characters are set in impressive strange architectural spaces. They ...
