In a world built on conformity, there’s no room for dreamers . . . At school, ""Pizza Face"" doesn't exactly shine with his report card. On the contrary, he's one of the worst dunces in school. He dreams of opening a video game store, but that’s about the extent of his ambition. He's summoned into the guidance counselor’s office, along with a rebellious girl named Mims. Mims loves manga and doesn't care about the system. But both of their futures are at stake this decisive year. . . . If they fail, their parents are authorized to literally kill them! The pressure of this strange new policy begins to weigh on the teenagers' shoulders, and their parents begin to slowly mutate into monsters. Can their parents really kill them if they fail classes? Pizza Face and Mims bond to face this existential threat, but soon the situation spirals out of control. . . . Their race for merit becomes a race for survival, a downward spiral in a conformist world that leaves little room for imagination . . . A modern tale with a horrific twist, Infantoms is part of a thematic trilogy by author Jim Bishop centered around childhood and the transition to adulthood. With this work, Bishop demonstrates his creative prowess following Lost Letters and My Dear Pierrot. A tribute to manga as well as a nod to our inner child, this intimate graphic novel highlights the difficulties of social integration, the excesses of society, and the value of self-confidence and friendship. A gripping album that will haunt you long after the last page
