MY SOUL MATE
Coming this January from Nakama Press
“An inspiring and motivating tale of soul cooperation.” —Kirkus Reviews
Nakama Press, an imprint of Mad Cave Studios, is thrilled to present a first look at MY SOUL MATE—a semi-autobiographical manhua from celebrated Hong Kong writer and artist Wah Kee.
The winner of the Hong Kong Arts Centre Award for Best Comic Story and selected for the prestigious Angoulême International Comics Festival, My Soul Mate blends ghostly possession and creative ambition to bring a supernatural twist to the creative spirit of the comics industry.
Chung Chuen Ming is an experienced art assistant in the comics industry who spends his days working on perfecting the work of others. Inside his heart, he longs for artistic fulfilment and wants to create his own manhua. Determined to make his dreams a reality, he quits his day job to focus on his personal project. Through a strange turn of events, he meets fellow novice artist Cheung Shan, someone who could really help him achieve his dreams! There’s just one small issue: Chung Chuen Ming just died and has been possessing Cheung Shan! Can a creative collaboration bloom between these two artists, even against the boundaries of life and death? Follow these two fearless artists as they follow their creative dreams in My Soul Mate.
My Soul Mate will appeal to fans of supernatural Chinese dramas (Oh My Ghost, The Ghost Detective), introspective nonfiction graphic novels like Eleanor Davis’ Why Art, and behind-the-scenes industry stories told through a fictional lens.
My Soul Mate will be available on January 20, 2026. Preorder it today wherever books and comics are sold, or through Nakama Press directly.
Nakama Press celebrates timeless traditions while embracing bold innovation, building bridges between cultures, and fostering a worldwide community of creators and fans.
