[Basic stocking days are 7 to 14 working days]
-------------------------------------------------- ----------
In a blink of an eye, we have come to the imaginary future, in the year 2020 described in two of Cyberpunk's important works "AKIRA" and "Blade Runner". Hong Kong, a high-density city, is a future urban scene often used in Cyberpunk's works. What kind of life are the people living in that cluster of skyscrapers? How to deal with yourself in a space where the distance between people is so close? What kind of dilemma do you need to face? How to understand the relationship between yourself and society? What are their thoughts?
Rex Koo's comic book "Strange Strangers in the Walled City" was created in 2018. In a dreamy future and a dreamy high-density city, a group of office workers are also undergoing a life-and-death transformation. Some people intend to resist the system on their own, some continue to live as usual regardless of world changes, and a cat tries to bring its owner back to life. Three people who don't know each other are stuck in a period of time and space of new and old, broken and standing, black and white reversed. Each with the belief in the direction of the heart and the belief in the direction of the body, silently creating their own future in this city.
