Tokyo, 2019. Less than a year before the opening of the Olympic Games, Japan is determined to clean up before welcoming athletes from all over the world. A wave of exacerbated puritanism is sweeping the country, crystallized by the multiplication of self-proclaimed citizen vigilance movements. Literature, cinema, video games, comics: no mode of expression is spared. It is in this suffocating climate that Mikio Hibino, a 32-year-old author, naively launches the publication of an ultra-realistic horror manga, Dark Walker. A move with dire consequences that will plunge the author and his publisher into the eye of the storm. Drawing on his personal experience, Tetsuya Tsutsui (Prophecy, Manhole) delivers a fascinating work on freedom of expression and the behind-the-scenes of manga creation in Japan.
