Mein Nachbar Yokai

In this charming German comic series from Splitter Verlag, launched in 2025, writer Janett Blesch and artist noho invite readers into a world where everyday life gently brushes against the supernatural. The story follows a protagonist whose new neighbor turns out to be a yokai—a creature from Japanese folklore—leading to a series of warm, whimsical encounters that explore friendship across cultural and magical boundaries. With noho’s expressive art bringing these spirits to life, Mein Nachbar Yokai is a delightful, four-issue slice-of-life fantasy that matters for its cross-cultural storytelling and its quiet, heartfelt take on the strange and the familiar.
