Tokyo, 2048. Japan is now connected to the entire northern hemisphere by the Eurasian Railroad, and all manner of crime and vice pour into the megalopolis at its eastern terminus. Little do the people know that inhuman beings live among us, however—robots with high-level AI, who will kill to survive. Only one "man" can stop them—their prototype: ORIGIN. (Source: Kodansha USA)

Origin won the Grand Prize in the Manga Division at the 22nd Japan Media Arts Festival in 2019. The series was published in English by Kodansha USA from November 21, 2023, to May 20, 2025.
