Le clan des Otori #5

Based on the works of Lian Hearn and adapted by Benjamin Bachelier and Stéphane Melchior, this fifth volume of Le clan des Otori — subtitled Les Neiges de l'exil — arrives from Gallimard Bande Dessinée in 2025 with a cover of quiet, wintry elegance. A robed figure in layered kimono holds a blue-feathered bird against a snow-dusted landscape where a lone rabbit picks its way through the cold, the whole composition rendered in a restrained palette of indigo, rose, and white. The mood is contemplative rather than combative, promising a chapter shaped by isolation, beauty, and the weight of exile.
