In a future world, Verloc Nim faces amnesia and uncovers a troubled past. Aama Vol. 1 delves into his struggles against societal norms.
In the distant future, Verloc Nim awakens in an unfamiliar place, suffering from complete amnesia. With no recollection of his former life, he feels lost and adrift. However, everything changes when he is handed his diary by a quirky robot-monkey named Churchill. Through the pages of his diary, Verloc begins to piece together the fragments of his past, uncovering a life filled with struggle and disillusionment.
As he delves deeper into his memories, Verloc discovers the hardships he faced in a society that he has come to resent. He lost his business, his family, and his friends, all because he chose to reject the technological advancements that others embraced. Verloc's refusal to adopt the pharyngeal filter, eye implants, and genetic modifications set him apart, leaving him feeling isolated and misunderstood. This internal conflict drives much of the narrative, as he grapples with the implications of his choices.
Verloc's journey takes a pivotal turn when his brother, Conrad, arrives with a mission: to travel to another planet and retrieve a mysterious biorobotic experiment known as AAMA. This quest not only offers a chance for redemption but also forces Verloc to confront the very society he has distanced himself from. Aama Vol. 1 explores themes of identity, technology, and the human experience in a world that is rapidly evolving.
