Synopsis: Icare

Icaro, a captivating manga in the science fiction genre, is reminiscent of noteworthy series such as Akira, Ghost in the Shell, and Clamp's sf sagas. The exciting storyline centers around Icaro, a young man blessed with the extraordinary ability to fly, and his determined comrade, Yukiko, who risks all to aid him in achieving his ambition. The depiction of an oppressive and expansive science laboratory that will stop at nothing to retain Icaro as their test subject is one of the most impressive elements of Taniguchi's work. As Icaro battles for his liberation and Yukiko sacrifices everything in her power to assist him, their journey transforms into a motivational manga masterpiece and a groundbreaking partnership between Eastern and Western storytelling.
