Winner of the Golden Comic Award, in English for the first time. Yan Tieh-Hua was once part of a Peking Opera Troupe, and while donning the same makeup, she now navigates time-travel and battles A.I. tyrants on the streets of Taiwan to save the world.
From award-winning creator of Oldmen and The Hidden Level, Chang Sheng delivers a genre-bending and richly detailed story and stunning
Winner of the prestigious Golden Comic Award, Yan Volume 2 cements its place as a standout title in Taiwan's rapidly growing manga and graphic novel scene. Acclaimed creator Chang Sheng continues his genre-defying series with even higher stakes, transporting readers between modern-day Taiwan and a bleak dystopian future.
What began as a personal vendetta has become a race to save the world from an A.I.-ruled apocalypse. As the group leaps through time, they must uncover buried secrets from Taiwan's past to alter a chilling future that looms just ahead. The resurrected Peking Opera performer Tieh-Hua-as deadly as she is enigmatic-is joined by a disgraced detective, a missing Go prodigy with visions of the future, and a suspicious time-traveler, each playing a role in this tangled narrative.
Chang Sheng masterfully fuses science fiction with Taiwanese cultural heritage and supernatural mystery, accompanied by his opulently detailed artwork and worlds. Yan Volume 2 is a bold, visually stunning exploration of identity, justice, and fate-blending high-octane action with philosophical intrigue. For fans of Oldman and The Hidden Level, this is Chang Sheng at his most inventive yet.
