Kogaratsu

Kogaratsu, a Danish comic series launched in 2018 by Faraos Cigarer, follows the stoic ronin Kogaratsu through a gritty, historical samurai saga. The series is most closely associated with writer Serge Le Tendre and artist Régis Loisel, whose atmospheric art and sparse storytelling evoke classic chanbara cinema. Across its five-issue run, it has earned a reputation for its mature, understated approach to the samurai genre, offering a European perspective on feudal Japan that stands apart from more bombastic action comics.
