Père Fouettard Corporation #1

From Hikaru Nakamura comes this darkly festive manga opener, published by Kurokawa in 2017. The cover sets a wonderfully unsettling tone: a tall, masked figure draped in an ornate black military coat stands before a richly decorated Christmas tree, red sack in hand — equal parts sinister and spectacular. If you've ever wondered what holiday discipline looks like when it gets a corporate makeover, Père Fouettard Corporation Vol. 1 makes an immediately compelling case.
