MANU is currently SOLD OUT through online sales. Estimated availability May 1, 2026.

UPDATE:

Mahalo for your interest in MANU, and for the overwhelming support following the recent Hawai‘i Public Radio feature. I’ve truly appreciated all the kind messages and enthusiasm for the project.

I wanted to share an update regarding availability. While I had originally anticipated a restock around April 16, my latest shipment encountered a production quality issue that I am currently working through with my print partner. Because of this, the new release of MANU will be delayed, with a revised estimated availability of May 1.

Ensuring the quality of the zine is incredibly important to me, and I want to make sure that what reaches you reflects the care and intention behind the project.

Mahalo for your patience and understanding—it truly means a lot. I’ll be sure to share updates as soon as MANU is ready again.
