## Synopsis

Link Click (2021-present) is a Chinese donghua animated series created by Li Haoling for bilibili, an original net animation with four seasons and forty-one episodes so far. Cheng Xiaoshi (voiced by Su Shangqing) and Lu Guang (voiced by Yang Tianxiang) run Time Photo Studio, a small photography shop in a modern metropolis where they use their superpowers to slip into clients' photographs one at a time. Each order pulls them into a different moment, and the engine of every season is the pressure to finish the job, no matter how large or perilous it becomes. Qiao Ling (voiced by Li Shimeng) anchors the studio's day-to-day world, and recurring supporting characters voiced by Zhao Shuang, Lu Siheng and Yikai Zhao widen the cast across seasons. The episodes unfold as self-contained missions that accumulate into a larger serialized mystery, so the viewing experience blends case-of-the-week suspense with a steady thread of time manipulation. Its tone is breezy and suspenseful, with a warm bromance at its core and a clear urban fantasy atmosphere. Fans of Lupin, Dark and Dr. Stone will find resonance in its mix of clever mechanics, time-bending stakes and loyal partnership.
