This project’s inspired by the War in Heaven and the end time—the war between angels and demons led by Archangel Michael and Lucifer. Since I love mythology, I had fun researching for this story and making it. I made a multi-chaptered comic for this, but since it’s super old and the quality’s questionable, I won’t upload it here. Still, it was one of my favourite works where I managed to experiment a lot, so I’ll keep it here for the record.

Trivia
- Lost Heaven’s setting and lore are inspired by the War in Heaven and the end time, where the army of demons and angels battle each other.
- Heilel and Mikael also feature in my other project the 100 LINE Stickers Marathon. I also made LINE Stickers of the two of them.
- I also made LINE Stickers of the mascot characters, the dove and the bat.
- I made this story also as a rehab when I failed to reach my dreams of becoming a mangaka after college. I was so traumatized at the time that I was afraid of drawing comics for 2 years. Lost Heaven’s story was about standing back up and not losing hope even after a crushing defeat, so it helped me gain my confidence again as I wrote it.
- Uploading my Lost Heaven illustrations to Twitter led to me making friends with Denta-san, which led to the creation of our collab manga NINURTA.
- I researched and studied a lot to improve my story writing skills as I made Lost Heaven’s comic. The skills I learnt here helped me successfully complete NINURTA, my first ever completed series. It then gave me the confidence to make Shanty, my first finished comic after the long hiatus.
