It’s Ari’s 18th birthday, and everything’s changing. New school, new friends, new life. That’s not all: as a special birthday surprise, her parents take her to a humongous tree. Woo-fricking-hoo. Her dad knocks on the trunk… and suddenly the ground opens. Down falls Ari into the strange land of the mushroom tribe. That’s when things really begin to change… Winner of the 4th World Manga Competition! ---
