CIAYO Comics deems Jendi's story as an athlete with a disability as a fascinating one that inspires people. Jendi lost his left leg in a motorcycle accident at the age of twelve. His physical disability didn't stop him to win five gold medals in ASEAN Para Games 2017 in Kuala Lumpur,Malaysia. His uplifting story is adapted into a comic written by Fahmi Hamka and Tony Hanggoro from CIAYO Comics. The comic tells the story of Jendi struggling with his loss with a dash of light humor to enlighten the mood. In the comic,Jendi has a nickname "The Eel",referring to the fish's ability to survive in the worst living environment. The comic is illustrated by DS Studio,a national award-winning studio that has gained many achievements in the comic industry,including first prize in Grandprix Winner Zenon Silent Manga International Competition.
