Le mec du milieu #[nn]

A quiet, blue-tinged cover sets the mood perfectly for this French graphic novel from Delcourt's Shampooing imprint — Sophie Awaad renders three figures engaged in tense conversation in the background while a lone girl, head bowed and hair windswept, stands apart in the foreground. That visual distance between the solitary young woman and the group behind her speaks volumes about the story's emotional territory before a single page is turned. A understated, human-scale work that earns its place on any thoughtful bande dessinée shelf.
