About "Geungsi Gangsta"
In the shadowy streets of Hong Kong, two sibling slayers, Meng and Violet, are on a relentless mission to vanquish an ancient and sinister undead force. But as they plunge deeper into the heart of darkness, they stumble upon the chilling secrets of an enigmatic underworld triad, one that's inexplicably tied to the recent spate of human disappearances. As the web of deceit and horror tightens around them, alliances shift, and treacherous betrayals loom in the unforgiving society they traverse.
About "Geungsi Kawaii"
Meanwhile, half a world away in Taiwan, a seemingly innocent world of pop culture conceals a malevolent truth. Meet Vivi, the embodiment of kawaii charm and lethal prowess and her faithful puppy. Together, they embark on a relentless hunt through the vibrant streets of Taiwan, from the glittering allure of maid cafes to the pulsating heart of the disco scene, and even the iconic Taipei101 tower. And in the midst of it all, she met a new friend.
I had a wonderful time in Singapore Comic Con last year when I'd bugged the artist to turn me into a XIESHI, and snagged his manga digests! Would be awesome to add to the collection with two new books too! I reckon it's time for a specially designed new "boxed-set slip-case"...!
