Kirihito

In the mid-2000s, Delcourt brought Osamu Tezuka's psychological drama Kirihito to a French audience, collecting the master's complex 1970s medical thriller into a four-issue series. The story follows Dr. Kirihito Osanai, a young physician stricken by a bizarre, disfiguring disease that forces him to confront the prejudices of society and the dark ethics of the medical establishment. Tezuka's signature humanism and intricate plotting shine through this harrowing exploration of identity, as the series stands as a testament to his ability to blend social commentary with gripping, character-driven horror.
