STORY
Lu is a young ambitious tea maker.
Lu’s family inherits an extraordinary power to make something called “Tea of Life”, which tastes different from rabbit to rabbit, depending on their life experiences.
All rabbits want to drink this “Tea of Life” at least once in their lifetime. Many may say this is power is just like magic, but it is not. A tea maker has to experience lots of things and emotions to make tea to obtain the wisdom of life.
Lu's family believes that learning these elements from life, on your own, instead of being taught by someone, is necessary; hence every tea maker from the family needs to go on a journey.
Lu travels from town to town to meet people, experience emotions and relationships. Lu will experience many kinds of sweet tasted love, friendships, happiness, and sympathy, but sometimes he will also experience bitter tasted emotions like sadness or anger.
By meeting all kinds of emotions and experiences, Lu can collect the essence of Tea of Life.
HAVE A SIP OF TEA.
Laidback Lu started as an animation project for TV by Taka Kato, who has produced animation works such as ROCCO for Disney+ and Kutsudaru for NHK.
We have produced a pilot animation.
In order to bring this work to the world, we decided to start developing a picture book in conjunction with NFT.
The NFT will be offered in a full on-chain format, which ensures that the owner can continue to own the work.
If NFT purchasers wish, they will receive Laidback Lu's picture book in PDF or printed form, depending on the number of NFTs purchased.
The first batch will be limited to 360 units and will go on sale on May 20, 2023 at 5:00 p.m. EST.
Based on the sales results, we aim to deliver the next Laidback Lu world as a picture book and produce an animated series.

QUESTIONS
- What is full on-chain NFT?
Major NFTs are stored off-chain. Even if NFTs stored on a redundant Inter-Plantary File System (IPFS) setup, there’re risks of disappearance of the artworks, if a) weak access to IPFS, b) the issuer stops paying the primary server to store the artworks. Since we deploy the artworks on the smart contract, there’re no such risks anymore. Your purchased NFT artworks are fully secured!
