Empereur du Japon #1

The opening volume of Empereur du Japon introduces readers to the story of Emperor Hirohito through the accomplished art of Junichenojo, bringing this ambitious historical manga to French audiences via Delcourt/Tonkam. The cover presents a young man in a resplendent blue military dress uniform adorned with a red sash and gold medal, rendered with striking precision against a soft, elegant background — a delicate butterfly hovering nearby adding a quietly poetic note. With an original work by Kazutoshi Hando, scenario by Issei Eifuku, and historical supervision by Hidetaka Shiba, this 2019 series promises a thoughtfully crafted portrait of one of the twentieth century's most fascinating figures.
