PIE INTERNATIONAL

GATEWAY TO ANOTHER WORLD SC

(W) Daisuke Shimizu

Every time a child watches animation, plays a role playing game, or reads fantasy novels, he imagines that he actually exists in the world of those movies, games, or books and deserves to be part of it. This kind of excitement that people experienced in their childhood remains in their heart even when they become adults. This book proves that those fantasy worlds do not exist only in our imagination but actually exist in our real world: a huge tree in an enchanted forest, a witch's magic shop, lodging where you can save your playing data, the remains of an ancient city that waits the last boss. Shimizu Daisuke travels all over the world looking for thrilling moments in which he can feel his fantasy world as an actual place. Perhaps you'll start looking for your own?
