Dense Valley Home

Melody Ono has recently moved in with her grandparents to attend high school in a strange valley that appears to be cursed with speaking fish, flying evil old ladies and other perturbing phenomena.

The title and story is based on Manoa Valley in Honolulu, Hawaii, where I lived with my grandparents while attending high school. Manoa means thick with vegetation.

This is a story I'm self-publishing in mini comic installments.
