Edition I · Two bindings
One hundred and fifty-four panels in ink-wash and screentone. Then twenty-five pages of open frames, and the brush is yours.
The book
THE INK DRAGON is a complete manga in over one hundred and fifty panels — a hero’s journey drawn in ink-wash and screentone. Haru grinds ink until something ancient wakes inside it, and together they must face a masked thief wearing his old master’s face to recover the village’s sacred Seal Stone. The drawing carries it; a caption falls on twenty-three of the sixty-one story pages and says only what the brush cannot.
Behind the last panel the story stops and the frames open: twenty-five pages of them in twenty-two distinct layouts — splash pages, diagonal panels, four-panel action. Printed single-sided to battle bleed-through, so you can press as hard as you like and nothing reaches the drawing behind it.
