Afterschool Charisma

A dozen clones of history’s most famous figures—including Napoleon, Freud, and Queen Elizabeth I—navigate the unique pressures of being genetically engineered students at a special academy in this French-Japanese comic from Ki-oon. Writer and artist Shikijo Kumiko blends psychological drama with sci-fi, exploring identity and free will as the clones grapple with their predetermined destinies. The series stands out for its thoughtful, character-driven take on cloning and legacy, offering a quiet, introspective alternative to action-heavy manga.
