GREEN WORLDZ

Tokyo, 20XX. An era of intense greenification efforts is meant to halt the effects of global warming. Akira has come to Tokyo to visit, and the city he finds is strange and dangerous. That premise is an unusual, ecological take on the post-apocalyptic story, and the series builds its tension around a city where nature has become a weapon.The strength is the setting. The greenified city is striking and uneasy, and the survival action is tense. The ecological premise gives the story a distinctive bite.The weaknesses are clear. The gore is frequent and graphic, and the tone is bleak throughout. Readers wanting a lighter survival story will not find one here.Recommended for fans of grim survival stories with a striking setting. Expect graphic violence and a relentlessly bleak ride.
