NOiSE is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Tsutomu Nihei. It is a prequel to his ten-volume work, Blame!, and offers some information concerning the Megastructure's origins and initial size, as well as the origins of Silicon Life.
Plot
[edit source]This story portrays Susono Musubi, a young police officer in a dystopian subterranean city thriving with activity, who is investigating recent child abductions. She finds a heavily toned down, sword-like Gravitational Beam Emitter as well as other elements that take different forms in the later publication (for example, Silicon Life).
