La Fillette au Drapeau blanc #[nn]

Based on the life of Tomiko Higa, La Fillette au Drapeau blanc arrives from Éditions Akata as a manga with a story rooted in real human experience. The cover immediately draws you in: a young barefoot girl, clothes worn and tattered, strides forward with quiet determination, clutching a tall pole topped with a white flag. Artist Saya Miyauchi renders her with striking emotional honesty — small in stature but unmistakably resilient, her shadow stretching behind her across a spare white ground.
