Hey, so today KING IN LIMBO volume 1 came out, and I HIGHLY recommend it.
Full disclosure: I’m the letterer on this manga. Kodansha paid me for that, but not to plug this book, or to gush about it with the editor. This is probably my favorite title I’ve ever worked on. The SF premise is very cool and the sense of place is spot on, but what makes KING IN LIMBO stand out is the multifaceted, layered main character.
If you’re into grounded, character-heavy SF and want more comics for mature readers please check it out.
I just got the script and assets for the third and final volume and am so excited to see how it wraps up.

here the bard approaches, weary, torn from the loom of the world with strings trailing from his back, dragging bloodied lines through dirt. here he approaches and hums a song of ruin.
come, sit, listen to the bard in the ash with the rest of us. perhaps his voice will make us forget, draw a world far away into the air. perhaps he will bring news, or tragedy. his hands look torn, don’t they? his eyes seem so far away. here, look at his flute. bone-white, is it not?
some say he made it himself, amidst the carnage of history from the femur of a fallen friend. others say it was fashioned of a great beast of legend and myth, long-extinct. he won’t tell, either way. see now, here he breathes in to start his tale.
there is rain in his song, sorrow in his tune. what do you think he has seen, far at the edge of the world where they say the sea never ends? what else is there to the glimpses of scars we can only imagine?
here the bard stands, weary, ash-covered and singed with the world sitting at his feet to hang ourselves on the stories he brings. here he stands and weaves a web of inevitable doom.
—the prince bard and his darkening eyes feel like an axe hovering over your neck. somewhere, a voice whispers of things that make your heart decay inside your heaving chest. the bard smiles.
