You can pre-order the new hardcover edition of Pure Trance at Last Gasp now!
Pure Trance is my first graphic novel that was originally published in Japan in 1998.
Softcover US edition was published in 2005 and is out of print now.
The new edition has a hardcover with newly drawn characters embellished with beautiful gold foil stamping.
Following the Third World War, humankind left the toxic surface of the Earth and built an underground city to survive. A serious social problem has emerged in this new society: hyperorexia, or severe overeating, a side effect of the “Pure Trance” life-sustaining pill.
The story begins in a hospital which has been ruined by a tyrannical director, Keiko Yamazaki. The nurses who toil under Keiko’s whip are regular girls, just like your friends and co-workers.
Yet this is no soap opera! It is a dreamy science fiction fantasy — a twisted story of catfights, alien safari adventures, evil experimentation, and a girl who dreams of becoming a pop idol singer.
