Synopsis
In the heart of the Philippine forests, tattoo artist Jose inadvertently ignites a fire, leading to an encounter with a mysterious woman that forever alters his life. "Apoy ni Lakapati" (Lakapati's Fire) tells a compelling story that interlaces past and future, sacrifice and ambition, against the backdrop of a homeland on the verge of change.
Jose, a practitioner of traditional tattoo art, stands at the crossroads of maintaining cultural heritage and adapting to the pressures of modernity. As a forest fire ravages the land, his quest to rescue the enigmatic woman initiates a profound transformation, challenging conventional notions of identity.
This graphic novel delves into themes of love, sacrifice, environmental awareness, and cultural resilience. It invites readers on a reflective journey, where the unforeseen becomes a pathway to self-discovery. Through its rich narrative and vivid artistry, "Apoy ni Lakapati" explores the enduring ties to tradition and the relentless march of progress, urging a balance between the two.

Great condition, quality printing
Very short and sweet story about the importance of apologizing and forgiveness to teach very early on as well as teaching simple phrases and names for family members in Tagalog
Powerful storytelling with beautiful art. Very happy with the work of Ebony Soy and the delivery by Hot Tropiks. Also loved the additional content in the Hot Tropiks release!
I love the quality of the graphics and the material for the t-shirt! You know it's not going to rip or fade!! My request is to bring back the Hard Mode T-Shirt! Missed the opportunity to get one!!! Thank you!
Above and beyond all expectations. Read it all in one sitting and couldn't put it down. Highly recommend! Plus there's a very fun bonus at the back of the book.
Thanks for bringing this product design to the US :)
A+++ customer service!
I super love the story!
My second time purchasing. Its a great book.
I absolutely loved the story of the first generation child of an immigrant family. It was rather enlightening as the author truly shows how immigrants are an integral part in society. Always have. Always will be.
Perfect gift for my chef nephew! So much cool stuff in general in the shop. Fast easy shipping too.
Excellent quality and very fast delivery.
