狼の口 ヴォルフスムント [Wolfsmund]

In the brutal, historically-inspired world of Wolfsmund (2010–2016), a fortress in the Swiss Alps serves as the tyrannical gatekeeper of a mountain pass during the 14th century. Published by Kadokawa, this eight-issue series is defined by Mitsuhisa Kuji’s unflinching storytelling and stark, detailed art, which chronicles the grim struggles of travelers and rebels against the fortress’s sadistic warden. A harrowing, character-driven epic, it matters for its uncompromising take on power, resistance, and the human cost of freedom.
