What I find fascinating and infuriating about some graphic novels, and this one in particular, is the utter absence of explanatory text. You're left to view scenes without any explanation whatsoever, occasionally supplemented by dialogue. So it's sometimes difficult to determine the motivation of characters' behavior. On one hand this is refreshing. On the other hand it is impossible. Particularly in combat scenes, where the explosions can cross entire pages, but the action is sometimes by necessity faster than the eye can see. Sometimes one can figure out what happened by examining the aftermath, the positioning of the characters, and the post-action glare of a character who, we assume, just performed the activity. This can be expanded to other aspects of the graphic novel in which actions occur but it's difficult to determine what's going on, particularly when we don't know why a character is connecting to a service, what they're looking at, why they're doing what they're doing, why they're going to one place or another, or where they're going at all. Frequently, the only text is a sound of equipment operating, so all we have is a "gashoonk" or "klik" or "bang" or, obviously, "blam" (this is the literal title of the manga, which is in a way disappointing, because "Blame" implies so much more than the onomatopoeia of a gun firing).

Honestly, this series needs a companion work.

And, again, no closer to locating the Net Terminal gene, though we have a clue that the net can be accessed on a provisional basis.
