History Manga / Gigantomakhia

* AfterTheEnd: The story is set, at least according to the title page, [[SciFiWritersHaveNoSenseOfScale one hundred million years in the future]]. The world has been turned to lifeless desert by a cataclysmic event, where "[[CataclysmBackstory the stars fell from the sky, the earth erupted, and the world was covered with ice]]". Humans and animals alike have had to adapt to living in the desert world, creating new species like "[[AlluringAnglerfish sand anglers]]" and {{demihuman}} tribes, like the beetle folk, "the Scarabaei".
* AlluringAnglerfish: Sand anglers are a species of anglerfish that has adapted to living on land. They bury themselves under the sand and disguise themselves as an oasis to fool unsuspecting creatures to jump in their water-filled mouth. They even have a palm tree growing from their head in the place of the usual lure.

* BigCreepyCrawlies: The Scarabaei are a bug-wrangling clan that lives in a symbiosis with giant beetles. Their whole city is essentially a huge nest built from the excretions of the beetles, which makes it possible to cultivate crops even in the middle of the desert. [[RuleOfcool They also make for good mounts]].

* RidingIntoTheSunset: The manga ends in Delos and Prome continuing their journey through the desert towards the setting sun.

* SlidingScaleOfAnthropomorphism: All of the Scarabaei clan have some insect charasteristics, some more than others. Most seem nearly completely human with only small parts of beetle carapace on their skin. Ogun has a full hardened insect hide covering his body, and the Patriarch has antennas and insect mouth parts, making his features more insect-like than human.

* TitleDrop: Prome says this as the final battle is about to start: "Commence Gigantomakhia!"

Taking some time off from working on ''Berserk'', ''Gigantomakhia'' is Miura's first new original work in ''24 years''.
