Concept
The story explores the relationship between a solitary apothecary, Daka, and Ling, a former soldier. After the war ends, Ling arrives in a dying city. The two outcasts grow closer, teaching each other how to live. Daka falls in love for the first time. Ling feels needed for the first time—not on the battlefield. The narrative delves into the themes of war and post-war trauma, posing the question of how and why one should continue living.
Synopsis
Two outsiders, with opposite lives and ideals, learn to live together in the postwar era.
Character Design
Lingu
A former soldier who arrived in the city and disturbed Daka’s peace.
Pharmacist whose peace has been disturbed by Ling.
Setting
A post-war, semi-ruined city. Almost all the residents have left; the government is trying to rebuild it, but only hermits and outcasts remain. It is jokingly called Freaktown.
One of the few institutions that operates daily is the Pharmacy, where Duck works.
Final Style
The final style combines two languages. The first reflects Ling. It is executed using graphic techniques, reminiscent of a noir piece with high contrast, rendered in black and white. The second reflects Dhaka. It features a simple line art with basic colors emanating from it. This simple style is used for stickers and location examples.
