Good morning everyone,
This post is a tribute to KlnKing, a beloved artist active in the first decade of the 2000s.
In mid-August 2025 one of my blog readers sent an anonymous request for a review of KlnKing’s “Main Story.” However, I decided to expand my review to cover not just the Main Story, but all of the artist’s known artwork. First, let me discuss the Main Story. (NOTE: Others gave these eight chapters the descriptor Main Story since this was the longest comic. Although, it is unclear if KlnKing himself called it that.)
It involves two unnamed women who become taller than skyscrapers. They develop enormous breasts (as giantesses are wont to do) and engage in massive destruction of the surrounding urban landscape. Be advised that there is no dialogue in the Main Story so you must decipher the narrative from character actions and by studying several flashback scenes. Therefore, there is more ambiguity than readers might expect. The giantesses were unnamed and the reason for their transformation was not shown. Although, recalling a traumatizing event appeared to cause one giantess to grow even bigger in the eighth and final chapter “Who Can Stop Me.” So, perhaps a desire for retribution caused their transformation.
People who dislike violent media may want to skip KlnKing as the enormous ladies destroy massive structures and kill many inhabitants. Military forces pummel the giantesses with gunfire and missiles. Furthermore, flashbacks show men sexually abusing and striking women. However, the Main Story did not dwell on the carnage and assaults. Comparing this to two popular media franchises its violence more closely resembles Godzilla movies than Saw movies. Not just because these giantesses are as physically powerful as Godzilla, but also because these comics do not spend much time with the suffering victims.
The first chapter, consisting of ten pages, features just one giantess. She appears in the very first image of the Main Story, shown below.
At this point it is important to highlight that the women’s clothes also enlarged as well as their accessories such as a wrist watch and a pair of eyeglasses.
The second chapter introduced a rival who grows out of a building upon which the first giantess’s bra was resting. So, maybe the bra somehow caused the second woman to grow? Although, presumably there were many women in that building so why did only one became a giantess? Maybe the connection was that both women had been mistreated by men?
These gigantic beauties began as normal size women who rapidly outgrow their apartment buildings. Their sudden ascension resulted in the felling of multistory structures followed by more devastation as they rampaged around crushing bystanders in their palms, destroying bridges, devouring people, stomping pedestrians, and tearing big things apart. The military responded by attacking with waves of armored tanks and jet fighters.
Eventually, the giant women fight one another and one of them grows some more, but there was no resolution to their combat. The comic stops right in the middle of the action. Overall, I enjoyed the Main Story, but wish it had a satisfactory conclusion. That said KlnKing provided it for free and I am grateful that he shared his magnificent illustrations which rival the best examples from mainstream manga!
In addition to the Main Story, KlnKing made other dialogue less comics called “Live GTS” and “The Failed Escape.” He included English dialogue in the “BE and G,” “Drunk,” and “Imagine” comics. (SIDE NOTE: Drunk includes a panel showing a sock designed in Australia and made in China. Maybe that was an allusion to KlnKing himself being born in China then moving to Australia. A user on X/Twitter, Voluminous, thought KlnKing was a Chinese expat in Australia. Although, drawing firm conclusions from such weak evidence would be speculative. It is quite plausible that KlnKing merely owned a pair of socks designed in Australia and made in China then copied those socks for his comic.)
KlnKing released several comics in the Unknown series with Chinese dialogue. The first, Unknown A, featured a man with an impossibly large penis whose ejaculation caused a woman to become a giantess. (Happens all the time in my experience…) He also drew comics written by others such as G-Boy (they worked together to make “Athena”) and Ready Art (together they made “Day Dream”) which included English text.
The appeal of KlnKing’s art is the superb level of detail. For instance his cities look like real places complete with distinct landmarks such as an airport with a control tower, an outdoor dining area entitled “Food Street,” a six-lane suspension bridge, a unique looking central train station, a Reuters tower, etc. Additionally, his giantesses move in a realistic manner. Their massive breasts compress and squish like the soft body parts they are. One could quibble that in the following screenshot the breast in the bottom right panel was a little too malleable, but in general his anatomy was spot on.
On the other hand the biggest drawback to KlnKing’s comics is weak narratives. For example, the Main Story was told without dialogue and thus the plot was minimal. Even without words more information could have been conveyed in the artwork to hint at the reason the women grew. Furthermore, the cliffhanger ending disappoints folks as well. The eighth chapter ends on page eight right in the middle of a battle between the giantesses.
Unfortunately, little is known about KlnKing. To the best of my knowledge he never did an interview nor did he provide even a brief biography. The KlnKing archive referred to KlnKing using “he/him” so we know he used those pronouns, but little else.
KlnKing published several comics, labeled Unknown A through Unknown G, with traditional Chinese writing (as opposed to the simplified Chinese used in mainland China). A poster at Giantess City claimed that the text was Cantonese, a language native to Hong Kong (also used in a few neighboring provinces in mainland China plus among overseas Chinese). The majority of China speaks standard Chinese (also called Mandarin or Putonghua), but other Chinese languages (such as Cantonese, Hakka, and Shanghainese) are used as well as more distinct languages (such as Tibetan, Uyghur, and Zhuang).
I asked HaraFung, a resident of Hong Kong, to review one of KlnKing’s pages and give his opinion. (SIDE NOTE: Click here for my interview with HaraFung.) Thank you for the assist HaraFung!
In HaraFung’s opinion KlnKing was from Hong Kong. So, I believe KlnKing was originally from Hong Kong and may still live there today.
I do not know when KlnKing first shared their art, but Giantess Magic had a page devoted to him which dated back to at least 2001. Therefore, he first shared his art sometime before August 5, 2001 as shown in the following screenshot.
Sometime after appearing at Giantess Magic a friend of his created the KlnKing archive. The oldest version of their webpage at the Wayback Machine dates to June 5, 2004. Similarly, the oldest thread at Giantess City referencing KlnKing dates back to August 2, 2004.
The last time he shared new artwork was in early February 2007. The webpage maintainer stated in mid-March 2007 that they were experiencing server problems. Then KlnKing’s archive went offline sometime between early April and early May of that same year. That original archive never returned and since then there has been no public announcements or additional art. In the absence of an official presence fans have preserved and shared KlnKing’s 206 illustrated comic book pages at places like the Giantess City and Process Productions forums as well as at Giantess Booru (currently called “SizeChangeBooru”), now defunct Yahoo Groups, illicit piracy sites, and legit preservation sites. (Click here for KlnKing’s works at the Internet Archive. Be advised that the uploader erroneously labeled the language as “Japanese.” The complete lack of kana is one of many indicators that the language was not Japanese.)
Overall, KlnKing left a lasting impression and is sorely missed in the size community. A few folks at Giantess City who were in e-mail contact with KlnKing reported that real life had taken prominence over his art and that KlnKing was focusing on his family. I would love if he returned someday, but if that day never comes then I thank him for everything he provided and wish him and his family all the best!
That is it for now folks. Stay tuned to There She Grows for another review coming up in about ten minutes.
