Children of the Whales
Children of the Whales | Abi Umeda
5 posts | 5 read | 8 to read
In this post-apocalyptic fantasy, a sea of sand swallows everything but the past. In an endless sea of sand drifts the Mud Whale, a floating island city of clay and magic. In its chambers a small community clings to survival, cut off from its own history by the shadows of the past. Chakuro is the archivist for the Mud Whale, diligently chronicling the lives and deaths of his people. As one of the short-lived thymia wielders, he knows his time is limited and is determined to leave a better record than his predecessors. But the steady pace of their isolated existence on the Mud Whale is abruptly shattered when a scouting party discovers a mysterious young girl who seems to know more about their home than they do...

We follow the birds, we gaze at the stars and we measure the heavens to divine the paths of our fleeting lives.

Children of the Whales volume 1

Floating island city that is drifting along a sea made of sand. Okay, how can anyone not want to check out a story in such a setting 😆 Do it! The story is surprisingly good and captivating, and now I want volume 2!!

Interesting story. A floating island called the Mud Whale drifts across the sandy wastes. 90% of the population on the Mud Whale have a type of magic fueled by emotion. Those with the 'mark' rarely live past the age of 30.

Up to this point no one on the Mud Whale knows why they are there or where they come from. They haven't even seen another person besides those they live with on their floating Island.

Until now...

#Manga 3.5 🌟's out of 5.
