Dark Horse Comics has announced that they are teaming up with Hong Kong-based artist Little Thunder for the first-ever English translation of Kylooe. Translated by Montana Kane, the paperback edition is set to hit bookstores on March 25 and comic shops on March 26. Kylooe weaves together three standalone stories that capture life, coming of age, and the wonder of our world in this surreal, watercolor-style graphic novel collection. The complete Kylooe trilogy will be released in March 2025.
So what is Kyloee about?
Each story is a self-contained exploration of human nature. The book presents an emotional dream world of bittersweet love and coming of age. Fans of Little Thunder’s surrealist art style will be transported to other worlds in this collection.
A typical teenager experiences growing up as a difficult experience. One day she skips school to buy her favorite band’s new album and sees a strange, mysterious, yet familiar creature on the cover – it’s Kylooe, her old friend! He’s back, he’s real, and he’ll do anything to protect her. Then an awkward girl makes an impression on a popular teen, and they start to bond beyond their status as peers. Finally, in a world where the expression of feelings is forbidden, people reflect on the choices that changed their lives forever.
