Yan Vol.1 by Chang Sheng

Yan Vol.1 by Chang Sheng

Winner of the Golden Comic Award, from traditional Peking Opera to Taiwan in a future where machine's rule, enjoy this action-packed thriller in English for the first time. From award-winning creator of Oldmen and The Hidden Level, Chang Sheng delivers an opulently detailed supernatural sci-fi story - that defies genres and engrosses readers with stunning artwork. Winner of the Golden Comics Awards and a standout of Taiwan's rising comics scene, Yan Vol. 1 is a haunting, genre-bending journey from master storyteller Chang Sheng-creator of Oldman and The Hidden Level. In this stunning first volume, the echoes of Peking Opera performances 30 years past linger in the shadows of a story that begins in tradition and spirals toward a dark, speculative future. The tale unfolds across eras-starting with a tragedy in the richly detailed world of late 20th-century Taiwan, stepping into the present day, and glimmering with the foreboding rise of a dystopian tomorrow. Declared dead in prison records, Yan Tieh-Hua mysteriously returns to Taipei, reigniting the investigation into a decades-old massacre-her own family's. As she carves a bloody path toward vengeance, Detective Lei is drawn into a chilling spiral of cold cases, supernatural events, and impossible truths. Alongside Yan is Higa Mirai, a young Go prodigy with the uncanny gift of precognition, adding eerie weight to every move made. With sharp moral tension, brutal action, and a uniquely Taiwanese swagger, Yan is more than a mere quest for revenge-it's a vision of justice that questions what lies beneath our choices, and what might come after humanity loses control.

"If this is your first exposure to Chang Sheng's artwork, you're in for a treat[...] This is a manga you won't want to put down, and a story you won't want to miss." Otaku USA Magazine
