About the book
The Story of LKY is a two-part tribute to Singapore’s late founding father and Minister Mentor, Mr. Lee Kuan Yew. The manga is a collaborative effort between Shogakukan Asia and Japan’s manga authors in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of Singapore-Japan relations. Tapping onto Singapore’s transformative period, the biographic comic highlights Mr. Lee’s inspirational life, and traces the significant historic events that would shape Singapore into the county it is today.
