Himizu

Himizu, published by Éditions Akata from 2019 to 2020, is a four-issue manga series that follows the story of a young boy navigating a harsh, post-disaster world while grappling with his own violent impulses and a fractured family. Known for its raw, psychological depth, the series is most associated with creator Minoru Furuya, whose stark artwork and unflinching narrative capture the despair and fleeting hope of its characters. A poignant exploration of survival and identity, Himizu stands as a notable work in Furuya's catalog for its quiet, devastating realism.
