【Recommendation from the Editor】 The lost year of 2020, the city that was supposed to be the center of the world. A city where the appearance of the city and the people who live there are constantly changing.

What you will find here are the afterimages of a fleeting moment of light in that city as captured by them, and the "what if" images that might have existed.

This is a collection of works that can only be read here, featuring brand new works by 20 world-renowned Japanese manga artists, including those who exhibited at the "What If Tokyo" manga exhibition, along with newly written special contributions and photographic works.

A massive volume of 358 pages in B5 size.

A valuable record of the turbulent year of 2020-2021, this is a must-have collector's item.
