Clock Striker, Volume 2: Volume 2

Clock Striker, Volume 2 is the exciting sequel to the YALSA-nominated inaugural volume starring shonen manga's first Black female lead hero!

Combining sci-fi, steampunk, action-adventure, and insightful humor, this new volume explores teenage hero Cast's desire to (once again) save her friend Klaus while dealing with an entire town that confounds her with its unique sharing culture. Something is off-and Cast and her mentor, Ms. Philomena Clock, engineer-warriors called SMITHS, are determined to find out what it is before it's too late. Klaus is a runaway prince who has been captured by cybernetic outlaws, the Demon Bandits. Cast has almost never ventured past her hometown, so the demanding trek, including rough terrain and the strange kingdom of Alter, will test her beyond anything she has encountered before. With a rival SMITH and STRIKER on their tails, as well as the mysterious King of Alter-who seems to have a powerful kingdom despite rejecting cutting-edge technology-can our female dynamic duo save the day? Clock Striker is rated T for Teen, recommended for ages 13 and up. Saturday AM, the world's most diverse manga-inspired comics, are now presented in a new format!
