This work was first inspired by the anime City Hunter. After having watched City Hunter the first time on Animax, I was amazed at how thrilling the story was, for a story done in an urban setting. I couldn't remember the last time I felt this way after having watched a good movie, or read a good book. That's when I knew I had hit the spot. This is something I wanted to achieve too. For a manga, I'd say City Hunter nailed it. That urban taste. It's what I'd like, and hope, to achieve with this work. To create a set of work that tells marvelous urban stories. I've been compelled to write such work ever since. I hope I'd be able to achieve the height that City Hunter did. (and, no, there will be no 'Mokkori' in my stories. Smirks.)
This is a more contemporary work compared to my other works. I hope you enjoy them. :)

It's been a year since the love of Elliot's life, Allan, passed away. Everyone thinks he should have recovered after that much time, but Allan still haunts Elliot every night. He struggles to maintain relationships with his family, and despite a coworkers interest he can't summon up the courage to date. Elliot is living for the past, because to live for the present means he'll have to live with a hole in his heart. But the question Elliot has to face chases him through his monotonous days: is mourning Allan with everything he has truly living?
