Although both love the series, Tatsu went a step further and posted two fan arts, recreating some of the characters in his own style. The posts went viral, and he surely helped put the up-and-coming manga on the map. The series only has 5 chapters, so it is great that it is receiving increased momentum from two of the most popular mangaka currently.
Tower Dungeon is yet another fantasy series from the influential creator of Blame! and Knights Of Sidonia, a perfect plot to flex his specialty of drawing intricate landscapes and buildings. An evil sorcerer murders the king and kidnaps his daughter, Princess Ignelia, and retreats to the top of a mysterious tower that contains an intricate dungeon. A rescue squad is promptly formed, and one of the conscripted is Yuva, a farmer who has ridiculous strength.
This series is already a must-read, given how beautiful the art is, and Tsutomu Nihei is often regarded as one of the best artists in the manga industry. The plot is already pretty interesting, and the fantasy setting combined with the action premise could see Nihei making even more fights and choreography than ever before. With the beginning chapters already making such big waves, it will be interesting to see how far Tsutomu Nihei’s Tower Dungeon goes.
