Weightless Vol.1-2
MENG Zi-Chun, a single female office worker, thought her life was bland and devoid of meaning—until, in her patriarchal and misogynistic workplace, she finds that life isn't as smooth as she thought. Fed up with being meek and submissive, Zi-Chun begins asserting herself in life. As a window into the plight of women in our modern, fast-paced workplaces, this comic explores what it's like to live in a time when things—and people—are seen as easily expendable. People may become busy and lose their bearings, but they never stop pursuing meaning in their lives.

NIN has loved to draw and paint ever since she was little, and she was deeply influenced by Japanese manga and anime growing up. After taking art in high school, she went on to earn a degree from the Department of Visual Communication Design at National Taiwan University of the Arts. Driven by an intense desire to tell colorful stories about life, NIN often experiments with fusing together elements of drawing, painting, and graphic design to create illustrations and cartoons that convey fun and quirky perceptions.
