Ultramarine Magmell[a] is a Chinese manhua series written and illustrated by Dainenbyo (Chinese: 第年秒/Dìniánmiǎo). A Japanese anime television series adaptation by Studio Signpost (formerly known as Pierrot+) aired from April 7 to June 30, 2019.
Plot
[edit]The story is set in a world where a mysterious new continent, known as Magmell (or Shengzhou), suddenly emerges in the Pacific Ocean. The land is full of unknown species, dangerous environments, and valuable resources, drawing explorers from around the globe despite the risks. Due to a unique magnetic field that disrupts advanced technology, expeditions must rely on physical skill and endurance rather than modern tools.
The story follows Inyō, a skilled "Gleaner" or rescuer who specializes in retrieving explorers stranded or lost within Magmell. Accompanied by his assistant Zero, Inyō takes on missions to locate missing individuals, often venturing deep into hazardous regions filled with unpredictable wildlife.
