World Piece Vol. 03

“A dynamic manga-inspired, basketball-infused space opera…reminiscent of Digimon and Dragon Ball” —Publishers Weekly

Meet Lucas Densen, a 16-year-old high schooler who suddenly finds himself protecting Earth in a strange new realm—the world is literally in his hands!

Lucas comes face-to-face with the Nurulans, the aliens responsible for creating the artifacts that are shrinking planets across the universe. Their leader demands that Earth be turned over, leaving Lucas, Lully, and Mitton no choice but to accept an unlikely alliance with a rebellious Nurulan, Exxo. Not all is smooth sailing when the world thief Sylvian reappears and activates a Nurulan artifact, throwing them all into the Black Gateway! Can the new group trust each other enough to navigate out of the gateway and get back to finding a way to restore Earth?

A dynamic manga-inspired, basketball-infused space opera … The polished art gives typical Western webcomic fare a 1990s shonen anime twist, reminiscent of Digimon and Dragon Ball”
