In this postapocalyptic 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.
The Mud Whale has been overrun with trichos, a virulent parasitic growth that turns everyone it touches into mindless husks controlled by the Nous Gerki. The only way to stop the spread of the trichos is to destroy the Nous, but that wont be an easy taskor one without sacrifice.
Abi Umeda debuted as a manga creator with the one-shot Yukokugendan in Weekly Shonen Champion. Children of the Whales is her eighth manga work.
