Miyazawa Kenji

China was in turmoil in 1921 when renowned Japanese novelist Akutagawa Ryunosuke visits Shanghai as a newspaper correspondent. He'd read classic Chinese novels growing up but China is quite different from the utopian place that he was expecting. It's hard for him to reconcile fantasy with reality. In a country lost between hope and despair, the novelist meets a variety of locals from revolutionaries to prostitutes, each affecting him in unexpected ways.

*This title will be released on August 25, 2020

Osamu Dazai’s masterpiece of Japanese literature is re-imagined in this hyper-kinetic deep dive into human consciousness.

The year is 2036. A revolution in medical treatment has conquered death by means of internal nanomachines and the “Shell System”, yet only the richest can afford to partake.

Yozo Oba isn’t the richest. Troubled by strange dreams, he flippantly joins his friend’s biker gang on an ill-fated incursion to “The Inside”, where society’s elite lives. This instigates a journey of terrifying discovery that will change Yozo’s life forever.
