chara design of my manga 02

Aku is a 13-year-old boy living in the oppressive city of Darklight City, the capital of the powerful nation of Mandalphe. Coming from an immigrant community known as the "block dwellers," he lives in miserable neighborhoods where poverty and confinement reign. In a few months, when he turns 14, Aku will be forced to work in the factories, a fate he cannot escape. Despite this bleak future, he is a dreamer.

Aku is fascinated by the stories his mother tells him about the outside world, ancient legends, and hidden treasures, tales that fuel his imagination. He dreams of leaving Darklight City, exploring the world, discovering riches, and offering a better life to his mother, who also lives in poverty. However, in this dictatorship controlled by Eybliss, only a few privileged individuals are allowed to leave the capital.

Despite the hardships, Aku refuses to give up on his dreams. His determination and desire to break free from the oppressive government's imposed conditions drive him to want to shatter the chains of his destiny, even if it means facing many obstacles.
