Sanda
Forget everything you think you know about Saint Nick; in a sterile future where children are more like captive treasures than people, the legend of Christmas is a dangerous secret. Kazushige Sanda spent his life blending into the background of a hyper-regulated society, only for his world to shatter when a classmate tries to sacrifice him to awaken a myth. Shiori Fuyumura isn’t crazy she’s desperate, and she knows that Sanda carries the blood of the Red Giant within him. Forced into a transformation that turns him from a scrawny teen into a powerhouse of holiday folklore, Sanda is thrust into a search for a missing girl that uncovers the rot beneath their perfect, child-obsessed world. This isn’t a fairy tale; it’s a visceral struggle for identity and hope in a land that’s forgotten how to dream. You will feel every punch and every heartbeat as Sanda fights to find out if being a hero is worth losing the childhood he was forced to keep.
