The graphic novel is a real-time visual accompaniment to the music of Ninjaspy No Kata (Translated literally: The Forms of Ninjaspy). The handwritten text therein is the actual verbatim lyric in the music and, together with the illustrations, it tells the story of a man named Illujin who comes into conflict with a bizarre nemesis he names “Skaingkh” both in the people he encounters and also within himself. The graphic novel is designed to be read in real-time with the music, and is essential to the multi-medium experience that is “Ninjaspy No Kata”.
