Nekogahara

A five-issue samurai epic from Pika Édition, Nekogahara (2022–2023) reimagines feudal Japan through a feline lens, where stray cats wield swords and navigate a world of honor and violence. The series was created by a team whose work is most associated with this concise, visually striking tale. It matters as a compact, standalone story that blends historical Japanese aesthetics with animal allegory, offering a fresh, self-contained take on the wandering warrior mythos.
