A rescue mission turns into a reckoning as the line between hero and villain blurs in the sands of the post-apocalypse…
Nakama Press invites readers into a spellbinding realm of shattered kingdoms, ancient secrets, and a power too immense to contain. PANDOLA—the acclaimed YA post-apocalyptic fantasy from Hong Kong-based manga artist Keung Chi Kit—arrives in English for the first time, presented in a newly translated edition by Book Buddy Media!
In a world where gods and mortals collide, destiny takes the form of a single boy. When a mysterious artifact awakens the power of Pandola, young heroes are thrust into a battle that will decide the fate of their realm. Across enchanted forests, corrupted kingdoms, and ancient ruins, they must uncover long-buried secrets—and face enemies who would rather see the world burn than lose their grip on power.
Keung Chi Kit commented:
“I’m very happy Pandola will be released in English. I added ten new pages to this edition to make the story more complete. The story is about people with different ideals confronting seemingly unbeatable enemies, and I poured many of my ideas and hopes into it. I hope readers find inspiration that resonates with situations in the real world.”
Keung Chi Kit’s worldbuilding is nothing short of operatic. Blending myth, magic, and the raw grit of a world clawing its way out of apocalypse, Pandola follows a young boy whose fate becomes entangled with a mysterious artifact—one capable of reshaping the very truth of their world. From enchanted forests to corrupted empires, the journey unfolds with cinematic scale and emotional weight, pulling readers into a destiny that refuses to be simple… or safe.
