Cici's Journal

In Cici's Journal (2021–present, First Second), a young aspiring writer navigates the mysteries of her own life and community through observation and storytelling. This warm, character-driven series blends slice-of-life moments with gentle intrigue, anchored by creator Joris Chamblain's empathetic writing and Aurélie Neyret's expressive, watercolor-infused art. Though only one issue in, it has quickly established itself as a thoughtful, visually luminous entry in middle-grade graphic fiction.
