The Great Void

In the fictional universe of this graphic novel, the main rule sounds ruthless and simple: if you are forgotten, then you are dead. Only if a person is remembered can they exist. Wherever your gaze falls, you will see thousands of characters begging for a second of your attention — their names displayed on numerous screens.

For some, moments of fame accumulate in a vault of immortality. For others, this everyday race for capturing the interest of those around them is nothing more than a means to survive. The main character, Manel Naer, is one of them. But one day she discovers that her place has been taken by a girl with exactly the same initials. However, unlike Manel, who finds solitude in a bookstore, the stranger is super popular, and her name is on the front pages of newspapers.

Manel realizes that soon she will be completely forgotten, which means she faces not only complete oblivion but also inevitable death. Everything changes by chance: at the moment of a breakdown, the girl slaps the pop star who has replaced her. The incident immediately goes viral. Having received her five minutes of fame, the heroine instantly becomes famous. However, the notoriety that grants her immortality also has a dark side. Gradually, Manel comes to realize that she is lonely and unhappy. Far beyond the skyscrapers lies the Great Void. And the heroine decides to venture there, from which no one has returned, for she has nothing to lose.
