Yan Vol.2 by Chang Sheng

From the award-winning writer of Oldmen and The Hidden Level, Chang Sheng now delivers an action-packed and genre-bending thriller.

Compelling characters and a suspenseful story force readers to choose between order or the supernatural, and peace or vengeance.

The chaos continues in Yan Volume 2, as award-winning writer and artist Chang Sheng delivers a second thrilling sequel in the unnerving and gripping series.

Tieh-hua's trail of destruction grows, as she pursues the bloody path of vengeance. However, the more bodies that drop means the more clues for Detective Lei who is hot on her heels.

Chang Sheng once again toys with existential questions by throwing the detective even deeper into the world of the supernatural. While tracing the steps of Tieh-hua, who has returned from the dead, he also delves into the past to solve the crimes that set off these extraordinary events.

Now that Tieh-hua has got to grips with her reincarnation and the world of the living, she has become increasingly powerful and formed strong bonds with the likes of her companion Higa Mirai. The chess prodigy has also been able to hone her power of precognition alongside her fearsome ally.

For fans of Chang Sheng's acclaimed works like Oldman and The Hidden Level, Yan Volume 2 showcases the talented creator's versatility, as he blends Sci-Fi with a traditional horror story.

As readers are once again consumed by the carnage of Yan, this second volume ventures further into the small space that sits between reality and the supernatural. Where readers and characters are forced to understand whether revenge can quench one's bloodthirst, and whether the other-worldly can be held accountable to the rules of our world.

Following a 15-year career in advertising, Chang Sheng began releasing his own comic and manga titles in 2004. He started his studio while in his thirties, and since then has won several titles, having been acknowledged across the world for his detailed and realistic video-game style of art. Not only was Oldman a finalist at the 2013 International Manga Award in Japan, but The Hidden Level won the Grand Prize at the 2017 Kyoto International Manga Awards (Taiwan Category).
