Wah Kee was first introduced to manga at the hair salon, where comic books were available for children to read while waiting. One of his favorite artists was Ryoichi Ikegami, an award-winning Japanese manga illustrator. After graduating from secondary school in the 90s, Wah Kee worked as a comic assistant at Hong Kong companies, where he was responsible for character art. In 2017, he made his artistic debut with a personal work, Makutsu. In 2021, he founded The Box Studio, a publishing company. ""My creations mostly center on Hong Kong elements. And I like to create quirky manga and sometimes relaxing stories because [writing] the hilarious type is quite stressful,"" he says, adding that it was hard to make ends meet as a comic artist. His latest manga, My Soul Mate, is based on his personal experiences.
