Are you still chasing the stars, or have we begun to learn to shine ourselves?

Star Catcher reflects todayʼs culture of hustle and comparison, where overachievement is glorified, leaving many struggling with anxiety, burnout, and self-worth.

Following a young star catcher who outwardly excels yet quietly burns out, the story explores the pressures of overachievement and the toll of emotional exhaustion.

Through its mix of blue-toned comics and colourful illustrations, the story poses thought-provoking questions, inviting readers to reflect, relate, and perhaps care for themselves a little more gently.
