Pure Trance

Following the Third World War, humankind left the toxic surface of the Earth and built an underground city to survive. A serious social problem has emerged in the new society, hyperorexia, or severe overeating, a side effect of the "Pure Trance" life-sustaining pill.

Our story begins in the hospital which has been ruined by a tyrannical director, Keiko Yamazaki. The cute nurses who toil under Keiko's whip are regular girls, just like your friends and co-workers. Yet this is no soap opera! It is a dreamy science fiction fantasy – a sexy story of catfights, alien safari adventures, evil experimentation, and a girl who dreams of becoming a pop idol singer.

PURE TRANCE is the long-awaited debut graphic novel of famous Japanese manga artist Junko Mizuno. Pure Trance breaks every stereotype of "shojo manga" (girl's comics). Sure it's cute, but it's also dark and alluring as bittersweet chocolate. This book shows what's really going on in the mind of Junko Mizuno!

Utdrag ur boken:
Nyhetsuppläsaren Pon: Seventeen-years-old pop-idol singer, Seiko, has been missing for five days. A woman claims to have seen Seiko near the ventilation shaft at Ikebukuro in District A. The woman says that when she called out to the pop idol, she ran into the ventilation shaft.

Assistenten Nobue: Then that must mean she used the ventilation shaft to get to the surface world.

Pon: And in the 53 years from the last World War to the present, there have been 39 people who have gone to the surface world. Of those people, two of them were the famous explorer Michiru and her disciple. It is believed that the other 37 people were trying to commit suicide. Not a single one of them has returned. Which is why 32 years ago, travel to the surface world was made illegal.
