About This Series
PSYCHO-PASS: Inspector Akane Tsunemori is the acclaimed official manga adaptation of the iconic cyberpunk anime series, serialized in Jump SQ. Illustrated by Hikaru Miyoshi with story concepts by Gen Urobuchi and character designs by Akira Amano, the manga captures the eerie philosophical weight of the original vision.
In a near-future Japan governed by the automated Sibyl System, human psychological states and criminal tendencies are quantified into a numerical value called a 'Psycho-Pass'. Rookie Inspector Akane Tsunemori joins Criminal Investigation Division 1, tasked with pursuing latent criminals alongside Enforcers—individuals whose high Crime Coefficients brand them as dangerous yet necessary tools.
Hikaru Miyoshi's sleek, expressive artwork renders futuristic urban landscapes, Dominator weapon transformations, and nuanced character expressions with meticulous clarity. The storytelling delves deeply into Tsunemori's internal journey as her idealistic views on law and order face brutal trials.
Expanding upon the anime's narrative with enriched internal monologues and bonus character perspectives, the manga stands as an essential cyberpunk work. It remains a powerful exploration of institutional control, free will, and human morality.
