More newly translated manga coming from Mad Cave’s Nakama Press imprint in 2026. Details of See You in Memories in the press release below.
A lyrical journey through loss, art, and rediscovery: where every street corner becomes a clue to who you used to be
A lost memory. A mysterious sketchbook. A city full of secrets… SEE YOU IN MEMORIES, arriving in English for the first time from Nakama Press, unfolds as a quiet, haunting exploration of identity and art.
Created by internationally celebrated illustrator Pen So, whose honors include the Japan International Manga Award (Silver) and the Bologna Ragazzi New Horizons Award. Pen So’s atmospheric, intricately rendered visions of Hong Kong have been exhibited across Belgium, Germany, Japan, France, and Italy, affirming his status as a major voice shaping today’s independent comics landscape.
Billie once basked in the spotlight as an internet singer-songwriter—until her fame faded and her songs drew only harsh criticism. Urged by her father to give up her “star dream,” she fled home in a storm of emotion. Three years later, she wakes up and discovers she was found unconscious on the street, and has no memory of her disappearance, clinging to a sketchbook filled with evocative drawings of Hong Kong’s streetscapes. As Billie retraces the vivid locations within her sketches, she embarks on a profound, otherworldly journey through memory and place—seeking not just what she has lost, but who she has become.
Creator Pen So spoke of the project:
“See You In Memories reflects my creative journey. I’m thrilled to see it translated and shared with readers in new places. My greatest hope is that new readers will discover Hong Kong’s stories within these pages and experience how powerfully comics can convey memory and emotion.”
For readers of My Broken Mariko, Blue Period, and character-driven literary manga, See You In Memories offers a quiet, resonant journey shaped by emotional depth and immersive visual storytelling.
Presented in a premium slipcase edition, this Teen+ graphic novel intertwines identity, memory, and the quiet magic of urban wandering, inviting readers to lose themselves in the streets of Hong Kong alongside Billie and to emerge nothing short of transformed.
See You In Memories hits shelves on May 12, 2026.
