Le garçon et la Bête #1

This first volume of the French edition of 'Le Garçon et la Bête' adapts the beginning of Mamoru Hosoda's original manga series, following a young boy who runs away from his troubled home life and stumbles into a fantastical beast realm, where he is taken in by a gruff, solitary bear-like creature named Kumatetsu. The story explores their unlikely master-student relationship as the boy, Ren, learns to navigate this new world and confront his own inner struggles. Published by Kazé, this collection launches the French-language release of the series that expands on the world of Hosoda's acclaimed animated film.
