A Lyrical Journey Through Loss, Art, And Rediscovery: Nakama Press Announces ‘See You In Memories’
by Brendan M. Allen
A lost memory. A mysterious sketchbook. A city full of secrets … See You In Memories, arriving in English for the first time from Nakama Press, unfolds as a quiet, haunting exploration of identity and art.
See You In Memories is created by illustrator Pen So, whose atmospheric, intricately rendered visions of Hong Kong have been exhibited across Belgium, Germany, Japan, France, and Italy, affirming his status as a major voice shaping today’s independent comics landscape.
Billie once basked in the spotlight as an internet singer-songwriter — until her fame faded and her songs drew only harsh criticism. Urged by her father to give up her “star dream,” she fled home in a storm of emotion.
Three years later, she wakes up and discovers she was found unconscious on the street, and has no memory of her disappearance, clinging to a sketchbook filled with evocative drawings of Hong Kong’s streetscapes. As Billie retraces the vivid locations within her sketches, she embarks on a profound, otherworldly journey through memory and place—seeking not just what she has lost, but who she has become.
“See You In Memories reflects my creative journey. I’m thrilled to see it translated and shared with readers in new places,” said Pen So of the project. “My greatest hope is that new readers will discover Hong Kong’s stories within these pages and experience how powerfully comics can convey memory and emotion.”
Presented in a premium slipcase edition, this Teen+ graphic novel intertwines identity, memory, and the quiet magic of urban wandering, inviting readers to lose themselves in the streets of Hong Kong alongside Billie and to emerge nothing short of transformed.
See You In Memories hits shelves on May 12th, 2026.
