Series' synopsis
Made in Abyss is set in an alternate version of Earth where a cave system known as the Abyss is the only unexplored place left on the planet. The Abyss suddenly appeared in the town of Orth one day, garnering the interest of young protagonist Riko who lives there.
The Abyss is full of strange flora and fauna not seen on the surface, as well as precious relics which are currently uncraftable by humanity. The Abyss’ mysterious origins and treasures lure those called Cave Raiders to traverse its depths, with Riko’s long-lost mother being one of them. Her dream is to become a Cave Raider like her mother was, one day.
Suddenly, however, a note from Riko’s mom is found saying that she’ll be waiting at “the bottom” of the Abyss, prompting the young orphan to begin her adventures. Along the way, she meets a robot who looks like a human boy, as well as several other creatures and companions at the start of her journey through the Abyss.
