Acclaimed creator Chang Sheng continues his genre-defying series with even higher stakes, transporting readers between modern-day Taiwan and a bleak, dystopian future. What began as a personal vendetta has become a race to save the world from an A.I.-ruled apocalypse. As the group leaps through time, they must uncover buried secrets from Taiwan’s past to alter a chilling future that looms just ahead. The resurrected Peking Opera performer Tieh-Hua—as deadly as she is enigmatic—is joined by a disgraced detective, a missing Go prodigy with visions of the future, and a suspicious time-traveler, each playing a role in this tangled narrative. Chang Sheng masterfully fuses science fiction with Taiwanese cultural heritage and supernatural mystery, accompanied by his opulently detailed artwork and worlds. Yan Volume 2 is a bold, visually stunning exploration of identity, justice, and fate—blending high-octane action with philosophical intrigue. For fans of Baby and The Hidden Level, this is Chang Sheng at his most inventive yet.","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47289313100012,"sku":"9781787744431","price":49.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/13973353482824.jpg?v=1770591621"},{"product_id":"yan-vol3-by-chang-sheng-9781787744448","title":"Yan Vol.3","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"book-description\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGolden Comic Award-winning series \u003cem\u003eYan\u003c\/em\u003e returns with its most haunting chapter yet.
