Melodies of the Sphere (Blood Sugar)* is a graphic novel set in modern-day Kenya years in the future, following a generation of urban youth navigating the loud, chaotic rhythms of the streets—music, fashion, social media, crime, hustle culture, and the constant race for quick success. In this world, identity feels fragile. Everyone is chasing an image, a lifestyle, a shortcut, a “vibe.” But beneath it all is a deeper silence: the fading of God’s voice in a nation that once built its foundations on faith.
At the center of the story are young characters shaped by real Kenyan youth culture—Gen Z navigating peer pressure, economic struggle, political frustration, the lure of quick money, drugs, partying, and the search for validation in a hyper-modern society. They’re influenced by everything around them: trends, celebrities, global culture, the push for fame, the noise of the internet, and the desire to belong. They look outward for meaning, not inward, and not upward.
As their lives begin to crumble—each character is forced to confront an uncomfortable truth: *a life built on outside influences cannot hold you up on the inside.* Kenya’s youth, like the nation itself, is suffering from spiritual dehydration.
Through individual journeys, the story reveals how personal collapse mirrors national collapse. A country that once rooted itself in God—from Sunday school, to home teachings, to school curriculum—has drifted into a culture of self-worship, shortcuts, and survival-mode living. And the leaders we see today—from politics to entertainment—reflect a nation that pushed God aside.
But Melodies of the Sphere is not a story of despair. It is a call back home.
Lets enjoy the journey
