Description

Top Shelf Productions is proud to announce the first full-length graphic novel from the Xeric-winning Scott Mills. With his sensitive take on humanity and his completely original artistic vision, we expect this thoughtful tale of early Japan to prove quite popular. It has been several thousand years since the end of the last ice age. The waters have warmed and risen, excising great portions of East Asia, while simultaneously creating the cluster of islands we now know as Japan. Across this show more modest new body of water came many immigrants. Some sought freedom. Some sought fortune. When Sun Kim came from Korea to Kyuushuu, the southern-most of the four largest islands of Japan, she was simply looking for a fresh start. Complete with panel-by-panel Japanese-language translations, to boot! show less

Slapstick is difficult to do on paper, but Mills manages to accomplish it. While the girl’s accidents are funny, they’re also used to reveal more of her character and advance the story.
