Hong Kong-based manga artist Keung Chi Kit’s acclaimed YA post-apocalyptic fantasy world Pandola will arrive in English for the first time with a newly translated edition by Book Buddy Media.
PANDOLA: A Spellbinding Post-Apocalyptic Saga
Pandola invited readers to experience a spellbinding realm of shattered kingdoms, ancient secrets, and a power too immense to contain. Keung Chi Kit’s worldbuilding blends myth, magic, and the raw, gritty reality of a world clawing its way out of apocalypse.
Pandola follows a young boy whose fate becomes entangled with a mysterious artifact—one capable of reshaping the very truth of their world. From enchanted forests to corrupted empires, the journey unfolds with cinematic scale and emotional weight, pulling readers into a destiny that refuses to be simple… or safe.
Publisher Synopsis:
“In a world where gods and mortals collide, destiny takes the form of a single boy. When a mysterious artifact awakens the power of Pandola, young heroes are thrust into a battle that will decide the fate of their realm. Across enchanted forests, corrupted kingdoms, and ancient ruins, they must uncover long-buried secrets—and face enemies who would rather see the world burn than lose their grip on power.”
Hong Kong Creator Keung Chi Kit’s Vision
Delivering a bold adventure, Pandola immerses readers in a story where the line between hero and villain is tricky, and every revelation brings the characters closer to a reckoning already centuries in the making.
“I’m very happy Pandola will be released in English,” said Keung Chi Kit. “I added ten new pages to this edition to make the story more complete. The story is about people with different ideals confronting seemingly unbeatable enemies, and I poured many of my ideas and hopes into it. I hope readers find inspiration that resonates with situations in the real world.”
Perfect for fans of Made in Abyss, The Girl from the Other Side, and video-game epics rich in lore and atmosphere, Pandola offers sprawling adventure, intimate character work, and a mythos that rewards readers who love to uncover the hidden threads of a fractured world.
