RED THREADS (2025)
Published by ABRAMS, available for preorder.
In this manga-inspired YA graphic novel, Tokyo schoolgirl Hana Suzuki’s life is changed forever when she is chosen to attend Japan’s premier magical academy
A magical story of friendship and new beginnings, Red Threads: A Witch’s Tale is perfect for fans of Magic Fish, Beetle and the Hollowbones, and Spirited Away.
Fifteen-year-old Hana is bored by her humdrum existence in Tokyo—there must be more to life than cram school and chores. After she rescues a crow caught in a net by her house, a mysterious visitor arrives at her door, offering her the chance to enroll in the most prestigious magic academy in Japan: The Benten School of Esoterics.
Hana jumps at the chance for adventure and life at Benten is everything she ever dreamed of—magic, mystical creatures, and making a new best friend in fellow new student Yoomi. But before long, Hana’s dream becomes a nightmare.
ZORYA (2018 – Ongoing)
ZORYA is a comic I started in 2018. It’s gone through multiple renditions – first, as a self published zine, then as a WEBTOON, then as a pitch packet. This current rendition was first published on Twitter (now X) in 2024. As you can see I’ve gone through a lot of stylistic changes!
Editors, would you like to create ZORYA into a book with me? Please contact me!
