Robot

™ and © Digital Manga Publishing

Collecting twenty short works from Japan’s hottest manga talents, Robot is a big, beautiful, full-color anthology work. Fantasy worlds and reinventions of the everyday coexist in stories that blur the lines between genres and artistic styles.

In a post-apocalyptic world, scavengers find a reel of film and marvel at the very idea of a strawberry. A young woman insists that every scrap of color be scrubbed from her home so that she may revel in nature’s hues. After years of banishment, two witches set out to gain acceptance from the human world, with unfortunate results. The addition of color brings new life to the typical manga style as the artists present these and many other diverse tales.
