PEEPO CHOO GN (2025)

"(W/A) Felipe Smith The version of Tokyo Milton witnesses is nothing like what he saw in his favorite cartoons and comics. While he has seen brief flashes of the futuristic and techonogically advanced Japan seen in the media, in reality Tokyo is a bustling and surprisingly quiet megaopolis where salarymen are seen more often than cosplayers, and no one seems to have read the Peepo Choo manga. Reiko, conversely, grew up loving the concept of America; in her mind it was nothing like the patronist society that is modern day Japan. Somewhere between these two young people there is a commonality of culture clash."

"(W/A) Felipe Smith They say you cannot choose where and when are born; we are gifted into the worlds are parents are living at the time. Whether a blessing or a curse, as individuals we must make the most of our environments to advance as best possible given the circumstances present. For the cast of Peepo Choo, their places of birth, whether they be the suburbs of Tokyo or the South Side of Chicago, appear to be a curse they cannot escape - until they realize the world is a much smaller place than they thought. Chicago high school student Milton and Tokyo teenage model Reiko are brought together by chance. But in this case fate comes in the form of the underworld!"
