Giant Spider & Me: A Post-Apocalyptic Tale, Volume 1 is the first volume of Kikori Morino’s slice-of-life post-apocalyptic manga. Giant Spider was first serialized in web magazine Alterna pixiv beginning in September 2016. The English translation came out in 2020.
In another era, Nagi’s father would have been deemed criminally negligent. But thanks to an apocalypse about which readers will learn nothing, there are no authorities to compel attention to child welfare. Nagi’s father is free to leave twelve-year-old Nagi alone at home for extended periods while her dad explores what is left of the world.
Perhaps he died out on the road. Nagi does not know. What she does know is that she is alone and have been alone for some time.
Nagi’s isolation is about to change.
