Undertrain is an experimental manga drawn by Studio 4°C’s Tatsuyuki Tanaka (Boiling Head) exclusively for Comickers. Those of you who are familiar with Tanaka’s works will recognize his style instantly. Even though there’s not much story in it, Undertrain manages to create a fascinating world filled with vivid details in only 16 pages. It’s as though you’re not looking at a manga, but a storyboard for an animated movie.
