Garota-ranho

Garota-ranho, a Brazilian comic series launched in 2018 by Companhia das Letras, is a surreal and introspective exploration of adolescence and bodily transformation. Created by artist and writer Marcela Cantuária, the series follows a young girl whose skin begins to secrete a mysterious, milky substance, blending coming-of-age drama with visceral, metaphorical horror. Its intimate, watercolor-style art and poetic narrative have made it a distinctive voice in contemporary Brazilian comics, earning critical praise for its unflinching look at identity and change.
