About the series
In this compact, four-issue series from Ki-oon, artist and writer Sansuke Yamada crafts a surreal, self-contained fantasy set on a mysterious island where a young boy encounters a strange, fox-like creature. Originally serialized in 2010, L'Île de Hôzuki is a quietly haunting fable that blends Japanese folklore with a dreamlike, watercolor aesthetic, establishing Yamada as a distinctive voice in European manga publishing. Its brief, complete narrative offers a meditative exploration of solitude and transformation, making it a memorable standalone work.
