About the series
In this five-issue series from 2007–2008, French publisher Kami presents a taut, self-contained story set in feudal Japan, where a lone wolf samurai—the titular "Le loup de Hinata"—navigates a world of honor, betrayal, and survival. The series is most closely associated with writer and artist Jean-Charles Gaudin, whose stark, kinetic artwork and lean storytelling give the tale a cinematic, mythic weight. A compact but potent entry in the European manga-influenced tradition, it stands as a focused character study within a single, resonant arc.
