Agharta (1997)

Nach einer schweren Naturkatastrophe verwandelt sich die Erde langsam in eine Wüste und die Menschheit versucht unermüdlich zu überleben. Wasser wird zu einer wertvollen Ressource und von Politikern für bösartige Intrigen missbraucht. Im Mittelpunkt dieser trostlosen Welt steht ein Junge, Mitglied einer Gang, der auf ein hübsches Mädchen trifft, die eine gnadenlose Kriegerin ist und der Schlüssel zu sein scheint, um die Menschheit noch zu retten.

Agharta by Matsumoto T. is a rather interesting science-fiction manga. It is set on Earth after humans have used up almost all the water on the planet, rendering it a precious commodity. Juju, a teenage gang leader, is robbing a convience store for water when Rael, a mysterious young girl bound in chains, appears to him. Of course, he doesn’t really know who or what Rael is, which spurs him to set off on the journey that seems to be a fair chunk of the plot of this manga. He eventually manages to help Rael escape her house, branding him as an outlaw. As the authorities mount a search for Juju and Rael, they team up with the Captain (your standard-grade comic-relief character) and Yunfa (the girl who is jealous of all the attention Juju gives Rael). Eventually the Professor Guy is introduced, who seems to have a history with Rael, and later there are two others who seek Rael (Ursula and Peewee) to further their own mysterious ends.

Testo della bandella:

Futuro indeterminato la Terra è semi-desertificata e l’acqua è diventato un bene preziosissimo. Juju, giovane affiliato ad una banda di criminali, si avventura sulla cosiddetta "isola suprema" ed incontra casualmente la bella Rael. Questa ragazza, che pare viva in uno stato di alienazione mentale, è fortissima ed è sempre legata da grossissime catene (che non servono a niente in quanto le lasciano totale libertà di movimento...). I due scapperanno e creeranno un gran caos sia sull’isola che nell’organizzazione alla quale apparteneva il ragazzo.
