In a man-made underground society, descendants of a banished generation vie for control of the crumbling city of Lux. Ichise, an orphan turned prize fighter, loses a leg and an arm to satisfy an enraged fight promoter. On the brink of death he is tak…en in by a young woman doctor and used as a guinea pig for the next evolution of Texhnolyze. With his new limbs, Ichise is taken under the wing of Oonishi, a powerful leader of Organ, an organization with some hold on Lux. As Ichise is drawn deeper into a war for territorial control of the city, he learns of his possible future from the young girl prophet Ran, who guides him from the shadows in his darkest times.
Give it a shot if you want a very dark, slow and atmospheric science fiction that doesn't explain the world to you before you get inside.
It's a good fit if you're looking for cyberpunk, nihilism, violence, and demanding storytelling.
What separates it from other cyberpunk dystopias is Lux's silence and decay: Ichise replaces limbs with technology in an underground city that seems to have given up on saving itself.
