(from the publisher)

When Ryoko Kiyami, a manga character from a manga world, falls through the Rip into the “real” Western world, he must learn to survive as an outsider at a typical American high school. He must find a way back through the Rip to his manga world, but things tangle up when he develops “hearts for eyes” for a beautiful girl from the wrong kind of comic book. This metafictive masterpiece blends manga and traditional Western comic book styles to create a complex comic hybrid that’s both hilarious and heartbreaking.
