The Chronicles of Biju – A Meitei Adult Comic Book

The Chronicles of Biju

A comic book for grown ups.

Synopsis:
Set against the vibrant and bustling backdrop of Churachandpur, The Chronicles of Biju is a beautifully illustrated, watercolor slice-of-life comic that explores the messy, beautiful, and sometimes bittersweet realities of adulthood.

Biju Laishram is a talented work-from-home fashion designer frantically trying to meet deadlines, blending traditional textiles like Moirang Phee into wild, avant-garde modern designs. Enter Lal: an earnest, bespectacled local pizza delivery guy who accidentally becomes her lifeline during a chaotic, caffeine-fueled workday.

What starts as a simple transaction over a ₹500 pizza quickly evolves into an unexpected connection. Lal is captivated by Biju’s warmth, her art, and their shared appreciation for local culture, leading to a heartfelt but one-sided crush. With grace and maturity, Biju navigates his confession, revealing the complexities of her own life—including an impending arranged marriage—and gently guiding him toward his own bright future.

Branded as “A comic book for grown ups,” this story leaves the superhero capes behind to focus on real-world heroism. It’s a cozy, comedic, and emotionally grounded tale about career ambitions, the sting of a gentle letdown, finding inspiration in unexpected places, and the beautiful bonds that form when you share a slice of pizza and a little bit of your world.
