About

Gilgamesh (ギルガメッシュ, Girugamesshu) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Shotaro Ishinomori. The story follows Tludia, a former knight expelled from the training Order due to her overwhelming strength and insatiable appetite. Struggling to find her place, she encounters an old man when attempting to rescue him from robbers—only to realize he is far more powerful than he appears and ends up saving her instead. This enigmatic figure, possibly named Gilgamesh, offers to help Tludia search for a cure to her mysterious disease. Their journey is filled with perilous challenges, unexpected allies, and a deeper exploration of immortality and fate. Reimagining the ancient Epic of Gilgamesh in a modern setting, this manga shifts the focus from the legendary king of Uruk to Tludia’s quest, blending mythological themes with fresh narrative elements.
