Reine d'Égypte #9

A young pharaoh gazes out with quiet intensity on Chie Inudoh's cover for this ninth volume, rendered in exquisite detail — the elaborate double crown, jeweled collar, and crossed crook and flail all speak to a ruler stepping fully into royal authority. Inudoh's linework is at its most refined here, blending the elegance of ancient Egyptian iconography with a distinctly manga sensibility that gives the figure real emotional presence. Published by Ki-oon in 2022, Reine d'Égypte #9 continues to be one of the more visually striking historical manga series in the French market.
