Dorothy is a wanted man ("Enemy of the State") investigating illegal human replication. A dark fantasy seinen manga.

Origin

A lad, a lady and a llama walk into a bar to kill 12 gods living amongst mankind.

What This Project Showed

I may have it, whatever it is. I wrote a 200 page screenplay for the original "Enemy Of the State" that follows a really bad day for a group of superhumans stuck on an island.

By the end, Mangaplay Studio was finished and Chapter 1 for Enemy Of The State was storyboarded but without marketing or a clear entry point, this whole world will sink into the garbage that is drowning all content platforms.

So, enter Dorothy, a more focused work that gives the option of being a one-shot or prequel.
