A battle of wits from Korean folklore

A rabbit who loves books, strawberries, and outrunning his foes crosses paths with a turtle devoted to the Sea King and his underwater routine. The Sea King’s mysterious illness sets the two on a contest of cleverness, as Jara seeks a rabbit’s liver for a cure and Tokki faces the turtle’s plans. Aram Kim retells the Korean folktale *Byeol Ju Bu Jeon*, bringing its forest and Sea Palace settings together in a tale built around trickery, competing loyalties, and an uncertain victor.

Meet Tokki. He's a rabbit who lives in the forest. Tokki loves reading books and eating strawberries. And, more than anything, Tokki loves outrunning his foes.

Now, meet Jara. He's a softshell turtle who resides underwater near the Sea Palace. Jara loves his plants and his routine. And, more than anything, Jara loves the Sea King who rules over the ocean.

When the Sea King falls ill from a mysterious disease and needs a rabbit's liver to be cured, Jara and Tokki find themselves locked in a battle of wits both are determined to win.
