What is The Mud Princess about?
When Yuki’s temper gets the better of her, she throws her house keys down a manhole and follows them into Mudland, a strange underground kingdom. There, the mighty Mud Princess welcomes her to a world where lost things are found and anger is something to savour. As Yuki explores the muddy realm and meets others with difficult feelings, she must decide whether to stay hidden below ground or return home and face the complicated emotions waiting for her.
