About the series
In the mid-2000s, Tokyopop released Lagoon Engine, a seven-issue manga series that blends fantasy and mystery with a unique twist on Japanese folklore. The story follows two young siblings who discover they can communicate with spirits and must navigate the hidden world of yokai to solve supernatural incidents. Written and illustrated by Yukiru Sugisaki, known for her work on D.N.Angel, this series offers a charming, character-driven adventure that explores family bonds and the thin veil between the human and spirit realms. While brief, Lagoon Engine is a distinctive entry in Tokyopop's catalog, showcasing Sugisaki's signature art style and her talent for weaving mythological elements into accessible, heartfelt storytelling.
