Chronin

In this two-issue graphic novel series from Tor Books, writer and artist Alison Wilgus explores a science fiction tale of time travel and identity. Set across a dual timeline of 19th-century Japan and a far-future New York City, Chronin follows a young woman caught between two eras as she navigates cultural displacement and personal discovery. Wilgus’s detailed, manga-influenced artwork and nuanced storytelling make this a compact but thoughtful meditation on history, belonging, and the consequences of crossing through time.
