About the series
A five-issue comic series from Gallimard, Le clan des Otori launched in 2021, adapting Lian Hearn's acclaimed historical fantasy novels into a graphic medium. The story follows a young orphan taken in by a secretive clan of ninja-like warriors in a fictionalized feudal Japan, where loyalty, honor, and vengeance shape a brutal coming-of-age. The series is most closely associated with the creative team of manga-influenced artist and co-writer, bringing a dynamic visual style to the source material's rich world. It matters as a faithful yet visually striking translation of a beloved book series, introducing its epic scope to a new readership.
