NOiSE is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Tsutomu Nihei. It is a prequel to his ten-volume work, Blame!. Noise offers some information concerning the Megastructure's origins and initial size, as well as the origins of Silicon life.

Plot

This story portrays Susono Musubi, a young police officer in a post-apocalyptic subterranean city that's 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).

Publication

NOiSE, written and illustrated by Tsutomu Nihei, was serialized in Kodansha's seinen manga magazine Afternoon Season Zōkan from February 10, 2000,[a] to May 10, 2001.[b] Kodansha collected its chapters in a single tankōbon volume, released on October 20, 2001.[2] The volume also includes Blame, a one-shot prototype for Blame!, which originally debuted in the October 1995 issue of Monthly Afternoon.
