Niraikanai

In the mid-2000s, French publisher Delcourt released Niraikanai, a six-issue series that blends science fiction with Okinawan mythology. The story follows a young man who discovers a hidden gateway to a parallel world, where ancient legends and advanced technology coexist. Written by Christophe Bec and illustrated by Stefano Raffaele, the series is noted for its atmospheric art and thoughtful exploration of cultural heritage within a speculative framework.
