What YOU should know before The Promise

This August, the story that begins in Love Story in Eids will finally conclude with a five-issue miniseries The Promise. Before that, lets do some recap so we can be fully prepared when the miniseries finally kicks off.


The Promise will officially kicks off on August 24th on Tapas while the Malay version; Janjiku will be released on Mat Komik shortly after. The miniseries will be a part of Comikrew Love Story titles in Tapas. It will set to conclude the love story between Tri and Ziera that started off in Love Story in Eid back in 2013 (rereleased in 2015).

Before jumping into The Promise, there are several titles needed to be read in order to understand the relationship between the character better.

Necessary Reading

• Love Story in Eid

Love Story in Eid aka Kasih Lebaran is 3 issues miniseries released as a part of the first ever Comikrew Studio Eid event. The story revolves around Zeira's effort bringing back Tri after an incident causing him to run away. This story also briefly introduced the reader to Asnida who is set to play a bigger role in The Promise. Another prologue was later added during its 2015 re-released that revolves around the exact incident that kicks off  Love Story in Eid and sets up Asnida's character more. Both English version and Malay version can be found on Tapas and Mat Komik respectively.
