Chiisakobé

In this 2015–2016 four-issue series from French publisher Le Lézard Noir, Chiisakobé reimagines a classic Japanese folktale through a stark, modern lens. Known for its minimalist linework and atmospheric storytelling, the series distills a ghostly rural legend into a taut, emotionally resonant drama. Its concise run and cross-cultural perspective make it a distinctive entry in contemporary Franco-Japanese comics.
