About this series
This Communication is a dark post-apocalyptic science fiction manga created by Rokudai Maruei. Set in a ruined 21st-century world overrun by deadly alien organisms known as Iperits, human civilization clings to survival in a secluded alpine laboratory.
The story centers on Deluha, a former mercenary driven purely by cold-blooded rationality and self-preservation. Appointed as commander of the Huntresses—genetically modified girls capable of infinite resurrection—he must coordinate their combat power to reclaim lost territory.
Rather than relying on typical heroism, Deluha strategically manipulates the Huntresses' memories and emotions upon each death. The narrative weaves complex tactical battles with intense psychological tension, constantly testing the boundary between pragmatism and ethics.
With its unyielding tone, ingenious plot turns, and stark philosophical commentary on trust and communication, the series stood out in Jump SQ. It delivers a deeply cerebral and unconventional military sci-fi experience.
