Synopsis

In a future one hundred million years away, after history has ended, myths have returned to life and giants stride across the land. Also wandering this world are Delos the wrestler and his odd partner Prome. Their mission brings them deep into an inhospitable desert where they make contact with the Scarabaei, a race of scarab people.

However, the Scarabaei have long suffered at the hands of a human empire encroaching on their lands, an empire they assume the very human Delos and his companion are part of. Forcing Delos to stand for the Empire's crimes, he is thrust into an arena with the Scarabaei's champion fighter Ogun. With his life on the line, Delos must not only confront this formidable warrior, but also the feelings of a whole tribe. Justice, pride, and survival hang in the balance.

Background

Kentaro Miura originally planned Giganto Makhia as a commemorative project for the 20th anniversary of the Young Animal magazine, although it was not published until a few years after the milestone. This is Miura's first original project in 24 years since he began Berserk.

The series was published in English as Giganto Maxia by Dark Horse Comics on February 3, 2016. It was also released in Brazilian Portuguese by Panini Comics in January 2015; in Polish by Japonica Polonica Fantastica on December 13, 2018; in Spanish by Panini Comics on July 24, 2019; and in Russian by Istari Comics on May 27, 2022.

Ah, Giganto Makhia. Kentaro Miura's first original work in over two decades and ultimate proof that he did not spend his year of Berserk hiatus just lazing around, like so many people seem to accuse him of. The man obviously needed a creative break and created this very short seven chapter manga in the meantime. And you know what? Did a damn fine job with it, too.

Giganto Makhia is a science fiction story set a hundred million years in the future, though to be honest it feels more like a fantasy story, as you wont find any advanced technology or other elements that ...

It has been proved by the popularity of, for example, Shingeki no Kyojin (Attack on Titan), that stories that usually contain giants make a lot of success. In fact, since ancient Greece, legends of giants always caused curiosity and instant rapport. My story with Giganto Makhia started like that as well.

Kentaro Miura decided to write this one-shot during the hiatus of his best-known manga Bersek, probably to clear his mind, since Bersek is being written since 1989! The story itself mixture Greek mythology with something like a futuristic mode and post-apocalyptic - or as stated in the manga: after the Great Extinction. And if giants ...

This is some radical buddhism "all lives matter" nonsense with Miura's attempting a strange mix of western political correctness with power of friendship and Lolis (to pay for the manly manga he did with Buronson I guess). Besides all the positive reviews which I believe are based on just being fan of Miura's work (more specifically, Berserk), there are plenty of issues in this manga that need to be addressed.

Story:

"Don't be mean to mass murderers and rapists - punishing criminals will make you sad.
Just pretend nothing happened, acting is bad, except Loli Ex Machina can solve everything with the power of friendship and golden shower."
-Some ...
