Description

by Yoshimi Uchida. –PREORDER– The set contains volumes 1-3 (the complete series). The slipcase set is available from our website as well.

Yoshimi Uchida is one of the beloved cartoonists from the 70’s & 80’s who was active in Ribbon & Bouquet magazines. Uchida’s Star Clock Liddell is a classic of 20th century modern shoujo manga and their masterpiece, a rare, longer work first released between 1982 and 1983. In it, the artist’s quiet, firm lines delineate another world too familiar to our own…

Young American socialite Hugh is haunted by recurring dreams of a silent house shadowed in mystery. Slowly overcome by a premonition of living on the “other side”, he turns to his close friends for advice. And then one day, a girl appears in his dream asking for help…

A story about a man who becomes a ghost, which reaches for multiple deep themes about the nature of “home”, where people go when they find it, and when they lose it.
