Kowloon

In the slums of Kowloon Walled City, an overpopulated and largely ungoverned settlement in the Hong Kong region, thirty-year-old Kujirai and her colleague Kudo work heroically as real estate agents. Within the walls of the largest labyrinth of the twentieth century, in a dystopia as surreal as it is friendly, the lives, dramas and loves of young adults desperately searching for a new life intersect.

Innocent
Plot
In the 18th century the French Revolution became the starting point of modern society. Charles-Henri Sanson was another of the protagonists who lived among his shadows: he was in fact the fourth head of the family of the Sanson family who worked as an executioner in Paris. The curtain rises on the historical epic that portrays the “innocence” with which she nobly faced his cruel fate! A breathtaking work accompanied by absolutely incredible illustrations.

This is the tale of the dark creature and the little girl, who linger as evening falls, on the border between day and night.
