Synopsis: A pair of Taiwanese middle school student who were stuck in their routine daily school life got captured and transported into the World of Ghost in Ancient China, where written words, and the art of Calligraphy holds power. Their only way out is to find Shenshu, the Calligraphy of God.

Ramblings: It’s a series I have started after seeing Hikaru no go, where a manga can help the general public to understand and appreciate ancient arts. Chinese calligraphy has long been a type of abstract art that’s hard to understand for most. It is an art form my grandfather loved and practiced as a calligrapher, I wanted to start something that’s exciting, to make people think “Calligraphy is cool,” and be able to appreciate its depth and history, that’s my intention with the series. I’m by no means a calligrapher, so hopefully this series will inspire better artists to do their own takes on the concept to promote an art form that’s slowly fading.

Synopsis: With warfare never ending, a person can be an angel or a demon. All it takes is a change of heart under 2Masters that grant you powers to heal the world, or to destroy it.

Ramblings: A story over 10 years in the making that has been revised quite a few times. It is a story that focuses on spiritual and moral dilemmas; it has metaphorical manifestations of problems and forces we see differently in real life. Largely inspired by the Christian faith, the series holds its own as a fantasy adventure, an alternate world of ours, that hopefully speaks to people going through similar things in real life and has an enjoyable narrative as an escapism.

Ramblings: It was original a story to work on my weaknesses and experiment with sci-fi and mech. It became a story that exposes more of my weaknesses, and then it became a story where I overcome my weaknesses in skill sets, emotional weaknesses, and my storytelling. It will remain my learning series forever. A big thank you to those who have been loving and supporting this series all the way!
