Coppelion (2008-2013)

What could be worse than the destruction of your home, homeland and all that you love? These are incredibly terrible and disturbing thoughts that pursue many people, especially in the current troubled time. In childhood, I was greatly affected by films about disasters. Then I sat and with horror imagined how the walls of my house are devouring with fire. Like buildings that I often visited crack and are easy to collapse, like fragile card houses. And the worst thing is that we are not at all insured at all. We can lose everything in an instant than so cherish so much.

But, perhaps, even worse after the disaster, return to the destroyed house and collect the memory of the old days by fragments. Understand that you cannot return to this place and lead a familiar life for many years, or even never at all.

One Mangaku thought about such completely joyless scenarios, who decided to create a work filled with incredible pain of loss, despair and a huge courage in the hearts of those who lost everything, but is ready to rebel from the ash for the future of their country and people.

And the name of Gamblingdata this creative work – “Coppelion”. This is a very emotional and sensual work where the reader will feel losses and pain from each character and certainly will not be indifferent to them.

Let’s wander together on the once great Tokyo – the very heart is forever in the movement of Japan. Only we will have to roam the ruins of a glorious city.

An interesting fact about the creation of manga: there were rumors that after the largest earthquake in Japan (off the east coast of the island Honsu) and the tsunami (March 11, 2011), the manga, due to its topic, can be completed ahead of schedule.
