About me
Meet London Tube lines in person...?
In 2013, The world's first underground railway, The London Underground celebrated its 150th anniversary.
The city's ever growing subterranean network is busy handling nearly 4.8 million passengers a day.
By the way dear, have you ever imagined meeting those busy as we call "The Tube" lines in person?
This Manga is merely an unofficial fanfiction of London's historical but unique icon.
Personification or anthropomorphism, which ever you call it, one individual Tube lover's phantasm of giving human characters on each tube lines - of cause some bits are based on facts.
Anyway thank you for visiting and ... ENJOY!
