But young Kumiko and herbrothers get the rare surprise when Piedra shows up in their garage fleeing fromthe evil Gaucho and his band of misfits. Suddenly their virtual adventurebecomes real Described by the author, JD Morvan, as a "cyberpunk PeterPan", SMALL WORLD mixes elements of classic European adventures with the stylishfuturism of such manga classics as AKIRA and GHOST IN THE SHELL. A gonzo blendof Victorian architecture, punk rock, and cutting-edge sci-fi concepts, this"manga-adjacent" tale is unlike anything else on shelves.
