King in Limbo Omnibus 1 (Vol. 1-2)

“A disabled veteran is recruited to dive into dreams of patients with a sleeping disease… but neither his superiors nor his dive partner are telling him the whole truth. Part medical mystery, part conspiracy thriller, King in Limbo is one of the most original and exciting manga I’ve read in ages.” -Alex de Campi (Blade Runner: Black Lotus, Archie Vs. Predator) “Tanaka’s delicate linework creates a vision of a future San Francisco that feels timeless, and a partnership between two men that teeters on the edge of a deep and frightening intimacy that can only be found in dreams.” -Blue Delliquanti, (Across a Field of Starlight) “A gripping, gorgeous manga that grabs the heart of our times and twists it into knots.” -Sam Humphries (Blackbird, Green Lanterns) Praise for Ai Tanaka’s Apple Children of Aeon“Quiet, lovely, and haunting.” -Manga Bookshelf “A gorgeous, surreal read… A genre-bender [that] reminds me of Go with the Clouds, North by Northwest as well as The Girl From the Other Side… A beautiful gem of a manga.” -whimsydearest “Weird, unique tale with a poignant atmosphere… The narrative is gripping, and the author has a strong sense of realism while also playing with a metaphysical side.” -Noisy Pixel
