Hana et la Bête

This brief French series from Meian, launched in 2021, reimagines the classic fairy tale with a manga-inspired sensibility. The story follows Hana, a young woman who finds herself in the enchanted castle of a cursed beast, exploring themes of compassion and transformation. Though only two issues have been published, the series has drawn attention for its delicate, expressive artwork and its ability to blend Western folklore with Eastern visual storytelling. It stands as a quiet, promising entry in the growing field of cross-cultural fairy tale adaptations.
