His path will cross that of many allies and enemies, without ever turning away from the same goal: to prevent a war against the "Upper Heaven" from breaking out!
More than a new series, it is a real passing of the baton if you will allow me the expression that arrives at Pika. You probably know Dreamland by Reno Lemaire, one of the most popular French manga in France. Well, Pika invites you to discover a new Lemaire in the person of Romain. Born in Montpellier, he discovered at a very young age a passion for drawing that lasted until high school. After obtaining his literary baccalaureate option plastic arts, he spent four years at university, two years in English LLCE and two more years in plastic arts. And manga, he ate by becoming the assistant of his cousin Reno, whether on the side of the sets, the plot or some designs, he participated strongly in Dreamland until its thirteenth volume, before devoting himself to his personal projects.
Passionate about fantasy and Japanese RPGs, Romain Lemaire gives us his first work where legendary entities, charismatic warriors, mythical weapons and other futuristic machines mix, a fantasy work with detailed and dynamic drawings, for lovers of the genre.
