The POOL

Gamon Sakurai, the creator of Ajin, returns with a sharp, all-new sci-fi thriller. Twenty years after a wormhole opened Earth’s orbit to an alien world, Team Sierra—a small security unit for the Tiberius Coke Corporation—drops thirty miles from home base to answer a distant SOS from a supposedly abandoned mine. Chief Yugi Oishi must lead her four-man squad through twisting tunnels toward a vehicle that could carry them to safety, all while elusive monsters close in from the darkness. But not all danger is external, and the mine hides more than one deadly secret. With brisk, cinematic pacing, the story blends tense action, eerie mystery, and sleek tech as the crew uncovers motives, loyalties, and the true cost of exploration. Sakurai’s sci-fi vision shines in a compact graphic novel format.
