Leftland

Alessandra Gallia, Chiara Casale

Sinossi

When Yuna encounters a mysterious woman at a fork in the road, she is asked to choose a path. Left or right. One simple decision. She chose left. Now Yuna wakes up in Leftland, a haunting, otherworldly, dark fantasy world where no one remembers who they were, and everyone is a little… off. Monsters walk the halls. A school teaches magic that feels more personal than practical. And each student is guided by magical familiars that seem to know them better than they know themselves. In a world that urges self-discovery through wonder and darkness, Yuna and her friend Aru begin to sense that the mysterious woman who welcomed them is hiding something far more dangerous than lost memories. In a place where your past is stolen and your future uncertain, you will have to rely on the only thing you has left: yourself. Dark, dreamlike, and emotionally charged, Leftland is an Italian manga-style graphic novel that blends gothic fantasy and psychological mystery to explore choice, identity, and the strange beauty of being lost.
