PRESS: At the 2009 San Diego Comic Con (table N11, Small Press Area), Camilla d'Errico will release Tanpopo, Volume 2. As we saw in the final pages of Volume 1, Tanpopo and Kuro walk towards their destiny and the first of Kuro's trickery begins; he transforms into his boy form; one of many shapes he will take....[CLICK THRU to read more, including Camilla's SDCC Signing Schedule]

TANPOPO-STORY-CONTINUES: Samuel Taylor Coleridge’s, “Rime of the Ancient Mariner”, along with some of Coleridge’s short poems, are the inspiration for Volume 2. Lessons of life and emotion are not for the faint of heart, as Tanpopo will learn. Kuro shoots off Specter Bark, and strikes down the albatross. His transformation takes a life and delivers a message. Will Tanpopo understand?
Kuro, devilishly cute and childishly playful, has a series of surprises in store for Tanpopo, as he changes forms and creates situations meant to elicit emotional responses in the girl. As he undertakes this new ‘game’, Kuro himself will be faced by the unexpected when he unknowingly lets his own heart have a say in the matter. Tanpopo’s journey into the human world begins and she is confronted with the reality of life and emotion. Will she be able to quiet her highly analytical mind and allow her heart to come to life? Will she be able to accept and embrace the emotions that are rising up within her? Will her quest for love set her free or will it shackle her for eternity?
