The Anime Lad
A ruthless arms dealer moves through the international weapons market while pursuing an unlikely vision of peace. A child soldier born into conflict joins the journey. Their backgrounds make cooperation possible and agreement considerably less so. Dangerous business continues around them while the premise keeps its contradiction visible at all times.
Gigguku
The premise places two explosive contradictions side by side. One traveler sells weapons while chasing peace. The other learned violence as a child and carries the cost of that world with him. Their journey through the arms market has immediate danger, but the real charge comes from wondering how either person can understand the other's choices.
Father's Basement
A stylish story about the international arms trade risks making professional violence look clean. Jormungand builds resistance into its premise by pairing the dealer with a child soldier born from the conflicts surrounding that business. Their shared travel can produce action without erasing the moral distance between them. Comfort is never guaranteed.
