The wait is officially OVER and we can finally say it out loud:
Rise of the Mafu #1 has arrived. Fresh from the printer. Unboxed. Real. In our hands at last, after living in our minds and on our screens for so long.

The first stack looks absolutely insane: deep blacks, textures and tones exactly how we envisioned them. But what hits even harder is the feeling behind it. After months of production, fine-tuning, approvals, setbacks and late-night decisions, holding this book makes every part of the journey worth it. Seeing this become reality truly hits different.

To all our Day Ones, First Backers and early supporters: this moment is yours too. You believed in this story before you could hold it. Thank you for carrying us here.

We are now in full packing and fulfillment mode, getting every copy ready to ship straight from us to you.

🚀 Release Date: December 15
Mark it. Bookmark it. Celebrate it. The Mafu enters the world on this day for all of us.

Remember: ALL IS NOW
