About the series
In the early 2000s, Viz Media brought this 22-issue sci-fi action series to English-language readers, adapted from the Japanese original by writer Kyoichi Nanatsuki and artist Ryōji Minagawa. The story follows a high school student who discovers that his amputated arm has been replaced with a mysterious, living weapon—part of a secret project involving genetically engineered "Arms." A tense blend of body horror, martial arts, and conspiracy thriller, Project Arms stands out for Minagawa's detailed, kinetic artwork and its exploration of the cost of wielding ultimate power.
