The basics of economic principles - it couldn't be easier!
“This webtoon is much easier to understand than university lectures.”

The child asks.
"How did money come into existence?" "How can a bank fail?" That's...
I know! I think I can explain! Lips that won't part easily.
Einstein is said to have said this.
“If you can’t explain it easily, you don’t know it well.”

Yes, we don't know much about the economy yet.
Don't assume that just because you're an adult, you know all the easy concepts.
Currency value, supply and demand, excess liquidity...
How many times have we wandered and fallen before this concept?
『Ant Country Economic Toon』 is different.
It's really easy.
I don't use difficult terms either.
It's just a cute depiction of a small story that takes place in the ant kingdom.
The story of the ambitious ant borrowing money from the safe ant, and the queen ant's regret for unilaterally lowering the price of noodles...
I just giggled and followed the story! Why? Why did I instantly understand the economic cycle? Why did I even understand the principles of short selling and options?

The sense and wit of writer Wireless Headset!
“Thanks to the author, I finally understood this difficult subject.”

You're saying the author majored in economics? Or is he just a nerd? No.
The author of Wireless Headset is an engineering student in his mid-20s, and is a 'technical idiot' like us.
I don't have money, so I don't know how to invest or trade stocks.
But how did you come up with such an economic cartoon?

When everyone was talking about stocks and coins, the writer thought.
"At a time when everyone is investing, wouldn't it be possible to make some money by drawing economic common sense comics that would be read by those just starting out?" The author called this a "niche market" and studied economics books, economic documentaries, and online resources.
I also received help from acquaintances who knew a bit about economics.
And he explained his own economic common sense based on his understanding of the ant kingdom.
Although he wasn't very good at drawing, he had a natural sense and wit, so he started serializing it with great interest.
Surprisingly, readers who followed the serialization of 'Economic Toon' did not spare their praise for each episode.
Thanks to this response, the writer was able to finish the last episode without getting tired.


From teenagers just beginning to study economics to those in their 40s watching the market on the news, this economics comic is a must-have for the entire family! The author explains:
“People who don’t invest in stocks or coins are not fools.
“A person who doesn’t know economics is a fool.”

This book also helps you fully understand the current economic situation!
“A surprising development, as if the current situation had been predicted!”

Readers who first watched the serialization of 『Ant Country Economic Toon』 were surprised and asked.
“Isn’t this the story about OO coin that’s been on the news lately?” “How did the author foresee the events that are happening now?” “This story is exactly like what’s happening in our country right now?!” That’s why some readers even call economic cartoons “foreshadowing cartoons.”
What could possibly happen? Unfortunately, the author lacks foresight.
As history repeats itself, the economy goes through booms and busts.
Economic crises and opportunities also repeat themselves.
Economic policy naturally revolves around it as well.
Once you understand this flow, you can begin to see the economy in a vague way.
The author himself said he was “surprised” by this experience.

In the maelstrom of the vast economy, each of us is just an ant.
Fortunately, however, an ant's field of vision can be expanded as much as it wants.
All you need is to study economics to help you make a living.
If you don't want to feel out of breath the moment you step in, the lighter the start, the better.
『Ant Country Economic Toon』 is a light-hearted yet profound comic.
You've finished the book, but you feel like you haven't studied properly? Still, you find yourself shouting because of the strange fun.
“Author, I feel dizzy, so please give me volume 2 quickly!”

★★★ Praise from readers who have been following the pre-release series!
