Ayako, l'enfant de la nuit #1

Based on an original story by Osamu Tezuka and brought to life by Kubu Kurin, this French-language edition opens the *Ayako, l'enfant de la nuit* series with a cover that immediately draws you in — a young woman dressed in a beautifully detailed, floral kimono, her expression quietly contemplative, surrounded by decorative pinwheels and warm wooden textures that evoke a richly traditional Japanese atmosphere. Published by Delcourt/Tonkam in 2021, this first volume promises an intimate, atmospheric story rooted in Tezuka's enduring legacy. If you're drawn to manga with elegant character design and a quietly mysterious mood, this opening chapter looks like a compelling place to begin.
