BLANK SPACE
KUMAKURA Kon［Japan］
Outline
High school girl KOMAE Shoko discovers that her classmate KATAGIRI Sui has the ability to embody the objects she imagines. The objects can be touched but are transparent and only visible to Sui. They enjoy creating various objects, but Sui’s creations gradually become more ominous as she is bullied in class. With the theme of “blank space,” this imagination-inspiring story of two high school girls freshly unfolds with rough-touch drawings.
