I WANT TO MAKE A BOOK, TOO.

It's 2027. Born in 2007, the main character K has no girlfriend and is part of a cultural minority with few friends. In a paperless age with no books, magazines and newspapers, K collects the old media of the 20th century. His little dream is to "make a book" with his friend 21LO! But it goes against the law to make books in the age when the distribution or even printing is impossible and severely restricted without an official government emblem...


EPISODE 18

2027 - I WANT TO MAKE A BOOK, TOO.

I WISH…
I WILL…

I want to make a book. A book that is self-indulgent, original and freely made.
It is my dream that has been kept deep down in my heart.
I must implement it soon as I have kept saying to do it by tomorrow.
I’ve already decided the book's title will be GEMPEG.
I will explain the reason later.

Well, I should clear the printing issue for making the book.
I’ve gotta go get advice from 21LO tomorrow.

Looking back on the disc covering 1,000,000,000 tracks, which must be a turning point. The copyright had collapsed, the data technology has expanded and the love towards things has been disappeared. All culture is getting destroyed.

I’m getting sleepy…… Well I’ll think about the rest tomorrow.
