Le flic de Roppongi

In Le flic de Roppongi, Black Box Éditions launched a French crime series in 2021 that transplants the hard-boiled police procedural to Tokyo's neon-lit Roppongi district. With only one issue released so far, the series sets up a gritty, cross-cultural mystery, blending European comic sensibilities with Japanese urban noir. Its tight focus on a single precinct and a lone detective suggests a taut, atmospheric thriller that aims to explore the clash of East and West through the lens of a cold case.
