L'Empereur Meiji

L'Empereur Meiji, a French graphic novel series from Glénat launched in 2017, offers a biographical portrait of Japan's transformative Emperor Meiji. Though only one issue has been published to date, the series aims to explore the life of the ruler who oversaw Japan's rapid modernization in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It is a work of historical fiction that matters for bringing this pivotal figure to a European audience, blending meticulous research with the narrative flair of the bande dessinée tradition.
