Armitage the Third borrows heavily from both Blade Runner and Total Recall to present a humans vs. androids murder mystery set on a Mars of the future. This manga utilizes the same main characters as the OVA, Naomi Armitage and Ross Syllabus, and a similar setting yet with a slightly different plot line, including their investigation into an illegal android manufacturing plant on Mars, and the conflict that stems from this incident. Copies are exceedingly rare even in Japan. A four-part OVA series was released beginning in 1994.
