Shiori & Shimiko

In this short-lived but distinctive 2006–2008 series from Bamboo Édition, two young women navigate the quiet, everyday mysteries of their small town in France. Written and drawn by a single creative voice across five issues, Shiori & Shimiko blends slice-of-life warmth with subtle, folkloric touches, offering a gentle, character-driven exploration of friendship and the uncanny. Its concise, self-contained run makes it a curious artifact of mid-2000s Franco-Japanese-inspired indie comics.
