Where it came from
Fractale originated as an ambitious multi-media project in 2011, centered on an original anime series directed by Yutaka Yamamoto. The manga adaptation, illustrated by the collective known as Mandelbrot Engine, was serialized in Square Enix's Young Gangan magazine to coincide with the television broadcast, serving as a companion piece that expanded upon the series' post-scarcity, crumbling world.
The narrative follows a young boy named Clain in a society maintained by the Fractale system, which is slowly deteriorating. The design work for the manga draws heavily from the series' aesthetic of pastoral decay and high-tech stagnation, aiming to capture the melancholy tone of a world that has traded its humanity for technological ease. While the anime polarized critics, the manga is noted for its attempt to refine the central themes of independence and existential drift inherent in the original concept.
