PLOT:
Beyond the knowledge of men, there is a parallel world called Saiteria (サイテリア) where an ordinary human has never set foot into.
The story started with Istaipen Mamiya. A college student and a frustrated manga artist who's works are always rejected. He has a wild imagination about fantasy and the unusual since he was a kid. He loves adventure, journey and to sketch the things that he can imagine. One day, he coincidentaly draw the exact map of Saiteria.
Because of Istaipen's extreme belief that such place actually exist, the gate that connects the earth and Saiteria unlocked. Saiteria is composed of 47 small countries which Ghumba is the center and serves as a portal to other dimensions.
Because of this, Ghumba has 4 protectors from North, South, East and West. They are the Dragon, Fire, Snow and Demon. Sadly, the four masters never unite from the first generation until the present due to different strategy, vision and belief.
As determined by fate, Istaipen turns out to be the next Dragon master. According to prophecy, the four masters must merge to save Saiteria to its brink of destruction by sealing the gate that Istaipen accidentally opened. Istaipen must collect 7 keys from 7 different places across Saiteria to seal the portal and they have 90 days left before the destruction.
Witness the action, comedy, love and friendship from reality to fantasy as their adventure and the battle for two worlds begin...

HISTORY:
Inspired by a typical high school friendship and activities, ©Istaipen comics was born.
It all started during our first year high school somewhere in Manila in 1999. A group of students has been hooked in drawing and creating comics.
At first, they are making up short stories in only one page casting by their classmates and the story is based on what happened on that day. Just added up a little exaggeration. Months passed, we have decided to bring it up to the next level. We come up with a story, characters and personality based on our real stories. Of course, added exaggerations such as the story, settings, ability and a lot more. We 'wasted' several notebooks for the story and each notebook is equivalent to one volume/episode.
