In the old days, the streets were full of different kinds of people. There were granny who picking up cardboard, tricky boss, pushy mother, and also the legend of Pandaman.

Artist's Statement
Pandaman is one of Kongkee’s manga works that receives wide social resonance. In the main plot of Pandaman, aside from “good vs evil”, the development of tension also comes from “big shots vs anonymous” and “vast conspiracies vs small happiness”. The Crazy Pandaman takes an old-time story of people and events on the street, treating this delicate and detailed childhood recollection as a delight of “small happiness”.
