[WORK IN PROGRESS}
Continuing where the story left off in Cold Hands, Cold Heart #1, Tamaki Sakurai begrudgingly hops onto dating apps to make new friends to eat dinner with. To no one’s surprise but their own, they land a date with Remi, a gorgeous woman local to Cosmopolis. Tamaki isn’t looking for anything, but it seems like Remi wants more than just dinner…
Cold Hands, Cold Heart is the first story in the Infernally Employed series, which is based on the Japanese folklore tale Momotaro. In the city of Cosmopolis, it doesn’t matter if you’re animal or human—Big Tech is behind the wheel, ready to bulldoze anything that stands in their way of profit.
Cold Hands, Cold Heart Issue #2 is slated for release in June 2026 and will be a risograph comic zine (20 pages) that will be printed, bound and cut by Mariko Abe at Punch Kiss Press in Los Angeles, CA.
