The basic idea is that man is having a hard time finding food and getting rid of their trash, so science comes up with a bio-engineered animal that survives by eating trash, and is then killed to feed humanity. You can guess what may happen if a self-replicating, endlessly hungry killing machine got loose in Tokyo.
The story centers around the film crew for Idol Survival, the internationally popular television program where swimsuited idols compete in games. The crew arrives on the same isolated South American island that TerraSave member Claire Redfield is visiting on an investigation.
From MangaHelpers: Professor Doug Wright teaches at Bennett University, teaching subjects such as bio-terrorism and chemical warfare. One day, he receives a letter from Asia's largest private high school academy: Marhawa Academy. The letter reads: "A biohazard has occurred inside the academy grounds." Doug immediately departs to investigate this incident with his nephew, Ricky, as his assistant. What he finds there looks to be another Raccoon City inside all over again. With the help of Chris Redfield and the BSAA [Bio-Terror Special Operations Unit], will he be able to stop the madness of the t-virus inside this isolated school? [DrCoke]
Chris Redfield and Jill Valentine arrive in a remote Russian village to check on rumors that a wolf infected with the T-Virus had attacked its inhabitants. It wasn't long before the two ex-STARS officers found them battling against the villagers, now turned into zombies.
Tsutomu Nihei returns with another addictive manga (see BLAME!), set in the not-so-distant future (3005 A.D.). It follows a character by the name of Kanoe Zouichi and the mysterious Kanoe Fuyu whose luminous form is integrated into the system of his bike. They are agents sent by a powerful organization to retrieve the human with the ability to resist and transmute the NS5 infection that is spreading across the world, named Yion/Ion Green. However, their mission is delayed by the reckless actions of the Public Health Department's taskforce and the kidnapping of Yion/Ion Green. Will they complete their mission? Where has Yion/Ion Green been taken? These questions will only be answered as more volumes are released. The art in BioMega is similar to BLAME!, with its complicated concrete sprawl and ludicrously wide, empty spaces. However, things seem to happen at a more reasonable pace. In this manga, there is emphasis on the swiftness of the attacks made by Zouichi, such as the gun being sheathed just before the enemies fall to the ground. Speed is crucial in this manga, unlike in BLAME!, and the plot develops just as quickly. An interesting read, especially if one has enjoyed BLAME!
