About the series
In 2010 and 2011, Viz Media published Grand Guignol Orchestra, a five-issue miniseries from creator Kaori Yuki. This horror-fantasy tale follows a traveling orchestra in a world overrun by the "Guignol," mechanical puppets that have turned on humanity. Yuki, best known for her gothic style and dark storytelling (Godchild, Angel Sanctuary), brings her signature blend of baroque art, eerie atmosphere, and tragic characters to this compact, self-contained story. It’s a vivid, unsettling entry in Viz’s early-2010s manga lineup, offering a complete, macabre narrative in a short, punchy run.
