{"product_id":"wandering-cats-cage-hc-mr-0826fb0947","title":"WANDERING CATS CAGE HC (MR) (28 Oct Release)","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn Akane Torikai’s Wandering Cat’s Cage¸ it is the near future. Only a few women are still able to menstruate¸ and even fewer men will be born to them. Reproduction is limited to medical intervention controlled from on high¸ and the structures and lives of the past hold no weight: they are only hinted at through the remaining scraps of a world that no longer exists. Life can be good¸ though¸ if you fall in line¸ and the women of The City live bright¸ happy¸ tightly controlled lives. But complete obedience isn’t for everyone. For the women across the river¸ who live in a rundown shantytown¸ viewing the opulence of the city from afar each night¸ life is different. It is humble¸ and often dangerous¸ but it is free. It is here that Sanada¸ a young acupuncturist¸ lives with the mysterious Reiho¸ the only male she’s ever met¸ and who sells himself to the rich women who sneak across the river for something they’ve never experienced …The two form a small “family¸” taking in other young women ousted from the city. But a real¸ living¸ breathing male might be too precious to leave to the shabby streets. When Reiho is kidnapped at gunpoint and taken to the breeding program in the city¸ Sanada must join with the other outcasts to try and rescue him¸ and learn the difficult truths of love¸ self-actualization¸ society¸ community¸ safety¸ and the future itself. Master manga-ka Akane Torikai (Sensei’s Pious Lie) has produced a stunning work of relational SF through a gender-bent looking glass. Torikai pulls no punches examining the deeply messy subjects of our day — sexuality¸ gender dynamics¸ romantic love¸ familial trauma¸ freedom¸ and control¸ through immaculately realized settings and character-rich¸ emotive body language. Produced in partnership with MSX: Mangasplaining Extra.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FANTAGRAPHICS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41558006562874,"sku":"0826FB0947","price":49.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/comicbookeroo.com\/products\/wandering-cats-cage-hc-mr-0826fb0947","provider":"Comicbookeroo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
