Kagehisa
By @Purajit Das
In a mythical Sengoku-era Japan overrun by bloodthirsty Yokai, Kagehisa is a samurai who refuses to draw his blade. Blessed with the divine 'Mirror-Heart' vision, he can see the tragic human souls trapped inside the monstrous husks. Yet, this gift is a curse; his gentle nature makes him hesitate in a world that demands ruthless slaughter. When a demonic eclipse slays his clan, Kagehisa is forced into a grim pilgrimage to the capital to seal the demon lord. To survive, he must wield a cursed katana that feeds on his own life force to purify the damned. Every strike saves a soul but chips away at his sanity. Pursued by corrupt warlords and ancient beasts, this gentle samurai must walk a blood-drenched path, balancing his desperate desire to preserve life against the harsh reality that some monsters can only be saved through absolute destruction.

TikTok Dimensions: Breaking the Fourth Wall
By @Assah Koffi
Seventeen-year-old Kenji is an ordinary background character in a highly cliché slice-of-life manga, completely unaware of his status until the day a hyperactive, dimensional-traveling 'Content Creator' named Lulu crashes into his classroom. Equipped with a bizarre, cosmic artifact resembling a smartphone, Lulu forces Kenji into co-starring in rapid-fire, sixty-second 'dimensional skits' to appease an omnipotent, unseen audience known only as the 'Viewers.' If they fail to get enough 'Likes' before the timer runs out, their entire reality gets deleted to free up digital memory space. Kenji, armed only with his dry sarcasm and a newly unlocked cheat ability to physically manipulate panel borders and speech bubbles, must survive these absurd, high-speed scenarios. As the sketches grow increasingly chaotic, Kenji realizes these comedic skits are actually altering the fabric of his reality, forcing him to choose between playing the fool for eternity or breaking the screen to confront his creators.
