About the series
In this 2008–2009 DC miniseries, manga artist Amano Taka (writing with Sheldon Drzka) crafts a quiet fantasy adventure about a young boy named Kiichi who discovers a hidden library of enchanted books, each containing a world that can be stepped into. Over five issues, the story explores the wonder and peril of these living volumes, blending Eastern storytelling sensibilities with DC's publishing landscape. It stands as a unique, creator-driven collaboration that bridges manga and American comics.
