Scars vol. 2

Two school kids, Kyonosuke and Akira, live in a little village by the Japanese countryside.

After an accident, Kyonosuke recieves a skin graft to his face, leaving him permanently scarred.

This disfigurement makes Kyonosuke a target for constant bullying.

Akira, his classmate, is trying to come to terms with her gender dysphoria, but is beaten by her father for saying she wants to be a girl.

When they meet and fall in love, they decide to escape their toxic environment together. But are they strong enough to accept each other, and themselves, for who they are?

The second volume in a stunning and heartfelt manga trilogy from debut author-illustrator Brandon Arias, Scars deftly tackles childhood trauma, bullying, and the issue of growing into one's own identity.

Manga are graphic novels originating from Japan. The term is used in Japan to refer to both comics and cartooning. Outside of Japan, the word is typically used to refer to comics originally published in the country.
