Overview
ToG takes place in a universe called the Talse Uzer Story (TUS), currently it is the only comic taking part in that universe, however prequels, sequels, stories that run parallel to the main storyline and alternate time lines are all possible within the TUS universe. The story takes place within the 'Tower' an immense structure or enclosed space, divided into different regions as well as over one hundred floor each of which is immense in scale to the point where picturing the scale of the tower becomes almost impossible.

Those who have been chosen to scale the tower are known as Regulars and occasionally someone who is not chosen will enter the tower, they are known as Irregulars.The regulars and irregulars attempt to scale the tower, passing various Tests in order to reach ther top and become Rankers. Floors become more dangerous as they go up, populated with strange creatures, Guardians, and the mysterious force known as Shinsoo

ToG - Spoiler-free Overview
Within ToG, the author SIU has demonstrated a willingness to pursue often dark or negative emotional elements in order to convey a richer, more involving story - which, while alleviated by humourous characters or events and sometimes told tongue in cheek, often delves into a subtle, sombre examination of many of the different motives of those involved. The result is a more sophisticated experience than delivered by most Shounen, more towards a Seinen (for those aware of the Japanese counterparts), combined with clever twists and manipulations within the storyline itself.

ToG features competing themes, one of the key themes identified so far is the importance of trust and friendship, emphasising the importance of communal relations and achievements which competes against individual loyalties, sometimes conflicting or competing motivations and the understanding that not everyone will be able to move on, there are always going to be some who fail - that a 'happy ending' may well be unreachable.

ToG Season I - Korean Raw/English Scanlation Status: Complete

Wanting to see the stars, Rachel enters the Tower leaving Baam alone; however he follows her and tries to scale tower to find her. On his journey he meets friends such as Agero and Rak and must face obstacles far beyond his own skill to overcome, as he attempts to climb to the floors above. To do so he must rely on his more capable friends to help him advance, so that he can find and protect Rachel.

ToG Season II - Korean Raw/English Scanlation Status: Ongoing (usually weekly releases)

Five years have passed since the first season ended, as always there are those who seek to move upwards within the tower. On the twentieth floor, far above the tragic scenes of the past, we meet one such group of people struggling to advance as they encounter a menacing trial in the form of a powerful criminal, running out of options, how will they choose to gamble?
