Made in Abyss (Japanese: メイドインアビス, Hepburn: Meido in Abisu) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Akihito Tsukushi. It has been serialized online in Takeshobo's digital publication Web Comic Gamma since 2012 and has been collected into ten tankōbon volumes. The story follows an orphaned girl Riko, who finds and befriends a humanoid robot Reg, and descends with him into the titular "Abyss" that leads deep into the Earth, in hopes of finding her mother.

An anime television series adaptation by Kinema Citrus aired from July to September 2017. A sequel film premiered in Japan in January 2020. A second season premiered in July 2022.

A live-action film began early development in 2021, with Kevin McMullin hired to direct and an action role-playing game developed by Chime Corporation will be released on consoles and PC in September 2022.

Plot

See also: List of Made in Abyss characters

An orphaned girl named Riko lives in the Belchero Orphanage in the town of Orth. The town surrounds a strange, giant hole descending deep into the earth, which is known as the Abyss. The Abyss harbors artifacts and remnants of civilizations long gone, and is, therefore, a popular hunting spot for so-called Cave Raiders, who undertake arduous and dangerous descents into the mist-filled pit to recover whatever relics they can find. Returning from the Abyss can be dangerous as "the Curse of the Abyss," a mysterious and potentially fatal malady, manifests upon ascension. The deeper one goes, the more acute the effects of the curse; few who have descended into the lower regions have returned to tell of their experiences. Some legendary Cave Raiders earn the title of White Whistles, one of them being Riko's mother, Lyza, who is presumed dead after taking a "last descent" into the Abyss.

Riko's longing in life is to follow in her mother's footsteps and become a White Whistle.[5] One day, she discovers a robot resembling a human boy in the first layer of the Abyss and names him Reg. Riko and her friends sneak Reg into Belchero and quickly welcome him into their close-knit group. Sometime later, a number of findings are made from the depths of the Abyss, including Lyza’s White Whistle and pages of discoveries and observations she had made, as well as a message presumably for Riko, stating she is waiting at the bottom of the Abyss. Riko, determined to find her mother, bids farewell to her friends and secretly departs into the Abyss with Reg as her companion.

Written and illustrated by Akihito Tsukushi, Made in Abyss started on Takeshobo's Manga Life Win+ (later Web Comic Gamma) website on October 20, 2012.[6][7] Takeshobo has collected its chapters into individual tankōbon volumes. The first volume was released on July 31, 2013.[8] As of July 29, 2021, ten volumes have been released.[9]

In North America, Seven Seas Entertainment announced during their panel at Anime Expo 2017 that they had licensed the manga.[10] The translator of the anime for Sentai Filmworks, Jake Jung,[11] also adapted the manga for Seven Seas Entertainment.[12] Regarding his involvement in the English version of both media, he stated, "Made in Abyss is chock-full of terminology, so I hope fans of both media are able to enjoy a seamless experience."[13] In addition, he has confirmed his intention to use gender-neutral pronouns for both Nanachi and Marulk.[14]

A manga anthology, titled Made in Abyss Official Anthology – Layer 1: Irredeemable Cave Raiders (メイドインアビス公式アンソロジー　度し難き探窟家たち, Meido in Abisu Kōshiki Ansorojī: Doshigataki Tankutsuka-tachi), was released on July 29, 2017.[15] On December 13, 2019, Seven Seas announced they had licensed the book, and they released it on October 6, 2020.[16] As of July 2021, a total of four anthologies have been published.

Sentai Filmworks has licensed the series, and streamed it on Amazon's Anime Strike service in the U.S. and on Hidive outside of the U.S.[36][37] Sentai has since released it on home video with an English dub.[38] MVM Films has acquired the series for distribution in the UK and Ireland,[39] and Madman Entertainment has acquired the series for distribution in Australia and New Zealand.[40] Sentai Filmworks has licensed the two compilation films,[41] and screened the first film at Regal Cinemas in Los Angeles on March 15, 2019,[42] with a subtitled theatrical release on March 20, 2019, and an English-dubbed theatrical release on March 25, 2019, in collaboration with Fathom Events.[43] During its panel at Anime Expo on July 5, 2019, Sentai Filmworks announced that they had acquired the license for Dawn of the Deep Soul.[44] Sentai Filmworks planned to screen the film in North America, the United Kingdom, and Ireland with English subtitles on April 13, 2020 subtitled, and with the English dub on April 15, 2020, however, the screenings were postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[45][46] Sentai Filmworks also acquired the second season for distribution worldwide except Asia, France, Germany, Italy and Middle East and North Africa, and will stream it on select digital outlets.[47]

It will be released on PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Steam on September 1, 2022, in Japan, and the following day in North America and Europe.[48][49]

It sings."[58]
