Sad girl #[nn]

Kan Takahama's Sad Girl, published by Casterman in 2012, arrives with a cover that quietly commands attention — a young woman with windswept dark hair holds a delicate butterfly in her cupped hands, her expression caught somewhere between wonder and melancholy. Takahama's clean, expressive linework gives the image a stillness that feels both intimate and charged. It's a beautiful entry point into what promises to be a deeply felt, emotionally resonant work.
