人形宮廷楽団 [Guignol Kyūtei Gakudan]

In this five-issue series from Hakusensha (2009–2010), a traveling puppet theater troupe becomes the stage for a dark, baroque tale of secrets, performance, and identity. The story weaves together the lives of its enigmatic performers, blending theatrical drama with a hauntingly ornate visual style. Guignol Kyūtei Gakudan is a compact, atmospheric work that showcases the publisher's flair for moody, character-driven fantasy.
