Ikkyu

In this mid-1990s miniseries from French publisher Glénat, a young, irreverent Buddhist monk navigates a world of political intrigue and spiritual contradiction in feudal Japan. Written and drawn by a single creator, the series blends historical fiction with slapstick humor and philosophical reflection across its four-issue run. While brief, Ikkyu stands as a distinctive European take on Japanese history, offering a vivid portrait of a legendary figure through a lens rarely seen in Western comics.
