Syutsin Express

Emotionally weary and burnt out characters all over the vast multiverse encounters rare interdimensional trains out of their world that sends them to a magical realm called Syutsin: "A world where time moves slowly and spirals, deliberately so..."

Inspired by liminal cinematographic styles of Wong Kar Wai's films and Leiji Matsumoto's «Galaxy Railways» series, with a blend of contemplative and surrealistic fantasy elements: this is a continuous isekai series in episodes. Stories about serenity, quiet longing and introspection following girls who escaped their old lives via the interastral railways, spanning multiple realms. The Syutsin Rail trains unite the lost souls together back to their chosen world.

This story contains real world references of contemporary events, cultural/regional jokes (Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, Washington DC), and fictious crossover with other series (including: Stardew Valley).
