CATDOLL: Chinese comics' new hope suspense comic "Carrier" landed in Japanese newspapers

Recently, Asahi Shimbun, one of the three major comprehensive newspapers in Japan, interviewed the Chinese cartoonist group NAVAR and published a report titled "The Evolution of Chinese Cartoons". As a country with the world's leading animation industry, Japan's authoritative media has begun to pay attention to China's comics industry, which makes us see new hope for Chinese animation. Perhaps one day, we will see animation works that can truly be shared by all people, in addition to children's animations such as "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" and "Boonie Bears".

Promotional video of NAVAR's work "CARRIER":

NAVAR's work "CARRIER" was first published in Japan's authoritative comic magazine "Bessatsu Shonen MAGAZINE" in March this year (the famous "Attack on Titan" was serialized in this magazine), and the Japanese version of the single volume was also released later.

"CARRIER" is a sci-fi suspense comic. It tells the story of a fictional world where the sudden outbreak of the virus SA-PTMS caused a sharp decline in population and deserted cities. In this disaster, the few humans who adapted to the virus became carriers with superpowers. The story revolves around Mercx, a carrier, and his assistant Eddie. In the peaceful and neutral city-state of Uren, a horrific series of murders occurred, and Mercx and Eddie are about to intervene in the case to investigate the conspiracy behind the incident.

Next, let's enjoy a set of pages and color illustrations of the Japanese single volume of "Carrier". From these pictures, we can see that NAVAR's strength is indeed no less than many mature Japanese cartoonists. At the end of the article, there is also a promotional video of this cartoon. After watching it, I believe you will have a better understanding of "Carrier". Let us look forward to more excellent works created by Chinese cartoonists!
