Both these mangas are from the same author. Biomega takes place before BLAME! in story-wise. It's a must read for BLAME! fans and it's Tsutomu Nihei's most current work.

Aug 11, 200722 of ? chapters read 16 of 16 people found this review helpful Biomega, one of the most recent and current works of Tsutomu Nihei, author of the acclaimed mangas BLAME! and Noise. If you read those two mangas and looking for something new from the author or just looking something Cyberpunk and extremely dark theme, than don't look further.
Story:
The situation of the story is a little like the Resident Evil game theme, where a person must survive or search a person in a city overrun by peoples that are infected with a virus. Kanoe Z...ouichi, a biker agent from a powerful organization, Toh-a Heavy Industries, with AI-Companion motorcycle, Kanoe Fuyu, where they must retrieve humans with the ability to resist and transmute the N5S infection that is spreading across the world.
The story is easier to follow compare to BLAME!, because it was hard to follow and to figure out what is happening with the characters with his or her dialogue-less text. Where readers must try to piece together different part given in the manga. But in Biomega from start to the most recent chapter, you can easily follow the story. Each characters talks more with each others and, sometimes, they gave information about a specific subject of the storyline so the readers can understand what is happening, like his Noise manga.
Art:
If you loved the BLAME! and Noise mangas series or your the type of person who likes lots of details in characters and buildings in each page with a dark, gloomy atmosphere and "macabre" feeling or in another words "cyberpunk-influenced", Biomega is your choice.
The author puts lots of effort in each page with so many fine details in each scene, fighting, etc. If you read BLAME! before, you'll notice that Tsutomu Nihei art style in Biomega is more refined and cleaner. For those who haven't read BLAME! or Noise, the author put more effort in the art of the architecture of buildings.
Character:
Each characters has each their own charisma, especially Kozkof El Grevnef, a talking bear. Every characters in the manga have a important role in the story and you don't get the feeling a character seems useless. Even the bike's advance Ai-companions of Kanoe Zouichi, Kanoe Fuyu, and of Mizunoe Nishu, Mizunoe Shin. Quite an original concept.
Enjoyment:
After reading chapters after chapters, I always want to read more. The action is exhilarating , the art is a really eye-candy and every character are as cool from the start to finish even some of the villains designs are quite nice. I enjoy each chapters of this series like it's my first time enjoying my first manga!
Overall:
In conclusion, if you like dark-cyberpunk-influence theme or looking for a good manga with awesome artworks or just a fan of BLAME!. Biomega is your best choice. I really enjoy it reading it and even I recommend it for people who are looking for something new and unique.
