The Girl I Left Behind (2024) (Hard Copy)

On her day off, Nina opens her phone to find that the music she and her friend had made 10 years ago has gone viral. The sound viscerally pulls her into memories of a friendship undone by miscommunication and diverging paths. Moving between past and present, The Girl I Left Behind reflects on aspirations and forgiveness.

This is the preorder physical book of "The Girl I Left Behind." It is a coming-of-age story about a girl who looks into her past as she comes to terms with a life-changing event from her school days. If you liked NANA or enjoyed SatoSugu, you might like this manga!

This story was my first full self-published manga, finished in June 2024, with support from the Centre for Stories and Perth Comic Arts Festival (PCAF) as part of the Comic Creator Fellowship. It sold out after an exclusive release at PCAF, so I am very happy to prepare for this second printed release. 

Content:

• 50-page one-shot manga.
• Character designs.
• Extra exclusive sketches.
  
• EXCLUSIVE digital sticker sheet

I hope you enjoy it, and have a great week!

Lots of love, Katie.
