The Portal to Kinko – Vol. 1

  • Everyday adventure meets manga action
  • Lots of humour and suspense – ideal for reluctant readers

Jo is a normal 12 year old boy and an absolute manga fan. His favourite series is called “Jomoto” and its hero is Jo’s great idol: Jomoto masters the elements like no other and is a powerful martial artist - a hero from another world. So it’s a huge surprise when Jo suddenly finds Jomoto sitting in his own wardrobe! Jomoto seems very interested in Jo’s normal, boring life, and even wants to accompany him to his school. Pretending to be an “exchange student from Japan”, Jomoto is there to help his new friend with karate kicks and magic mist. The only strange thing is that he is so reluctant to return to his own home. When Jo discovers his friend’s secret, it’s high time for the two of them to travel to the world of manga to save Jomoto’s village Kinko from destruction … 
The first volume of an exciting new series about an unusual friendship – set between school chaos and manga power.
