If you are looking to catch up on the latest manga “Moscow 2160”, you are at the right place. From the author of the Goblin Slayer manga, Kumo Kagyuu comes an action and sci-fi seinen manga that we can clearly see topping the charts in the future.
The manga’s first chapter came out on the 23rd of December 2022. After that, the second one came out about 10 days ago. The releasing of the chapters is in an uneven stage at the moment.
The manga explores a world where the cold war has not ended, and it has been over 200 years since its commencement. The world has also advanced a lot in terms of technology. Mechanized rogues and conspiracies run free as part of the bigger scheme.
Amidst all this, there is a “liquidator” or a “cleaner”, who works while all this happens. The manga only has 2 chapters so far and is yet to gain a larger fan base. It is speculated that since the author did well with the Goblin Slayer manga, this will also be liked by the fans. The manga is even called a mix of Cyberpunk and Cold War mangas.
Moscow 2160 Recap- What has happened so far?
We are introduced to the “liquidator” (likvidator) who walks around the streets of the city. The condition of the cold war is described as a structure where the East and the West constantly compete for supremacy in technology. The liquidator talks to someone over the phone and says that they have another job to finish.”. They then look up at the poster of a woman, very well the “Miss Moscow”.
When our protagonist enters a bar, we see that there are several liquidators already present there. The name of the protagonist is revealed to be “Danila Kragin”. The whole bunch is the Warsaw Pact’s mechanized army.
They discuss their next target, who is an outlaw named Igor, who was part of the Warsaw Pact army but is now a mechanized soldier. One of them says that Igor has become “just like them” in an attempt to sustain his cyborg body. Government calls Igor’s existence something that can be denied.
The talk is over when one of them says that their woman Stasha is pregnant, which is ridiculous to the other because that is the name of Miss Moscow. This is when Kragin says that his woman is also called Stasha.
Circumstances get tense when one of the men in the bar tries to attack him and an even bigger threat surfaces. It is Igor, who mercilessly attacks them and kills most of them. Kragin tries to act like a corpse and attack him. He succeeds in the end. He also manages to kill the man who attacked him. Danila returns home to his lover, who is revealed to be no other than Miss Moscow herself. She comforts him and the couple ends up making love.
In a morning flashback, Kragin reveals that he is a mercenary, while Stasha is a top star at the Peskin theatre. He reminisces about the first time she saw her perform the Black Swan. Stasha constantly warns him not to do anything rash. On his way to missions., he meets Miss Peskin, who does not understand why Stasha entertains a “low-rate” mercenary like him.
He meets with Maria, who is one of his sisters. She also praises him for dealing with Igor last night. Her code name is “Snow Storm”, she works in telecommunications and is good at what she does. We see that Danila has two sisters Maria and Nora and a brother named Valerii.
The second chapter ended by telling us of Chasty Rusalka, who is the new lieutenant of the team.
