Les contes noirs de Noroi Michiru #1

A pale, red-caped schoolgirl clutches a dark, hollow mask while shadowy, puppet-like figures loom in the background against a backdrop etched with occult symbols and angel names — it's an arresting opening image for this 2022 French-language manga anthology from Black Box Éditions. Les contes noirs de Noroi Michiru promises unsettling fairy-tale horror with a distinctly dark aesthetic that feels both deeply personal and genuinely eerie. If you're drawn to manga that lingers at the edge of the uncanny, this first volume looks like a compelling place to start.
