King in Limbo Omnibus 1 (Vol. 1-2)

By Ai Tanaka

Book Overview

From the creator of Apple Children of Aeon comes a gripping, six-volume thriller manga about trauma, healing, friendship, and what it means to be "sick" or "healthy." A must for fans of suspenseful, complex manga like Naoki Urasawa's Monster and The Promised Neverland.

"One of the most original and exciting manga I've read in ages." -Alex de Campi (Blade Runner: Black Lotus)

Eight years have passed since the sickness known as "the Sleep" ended millions of lives. Now, after a dangerous procedure that involves diving into patients' memories has ended the pandemic, Petty Officer Adam Garfield wakes up in a hospital to find an IED has taken one of his legs. But Adam's plan to retire from U.S. Navy service and cash in his pension to goof around with his younger siblings is shattered when he receives secret word that the sleeping sickness has returned, and it's his job to coax back the mysterious man who helped cure it the first time: a man known by the codename "King."

So good!

The public has been free of the sleeping sickness for years now. Unfortunately, CNAS has discovered a new scary and more dangerous strain that is popping up. It's up to Adam and Rune to figure this out. Only, what they figure out might be more problematic than they originally thought. I love this fast-paced, twisty manga! I'm going to go look for more of this!
