野良猫と狼 [Noraneko to Ōokami]

In this taut, five-issue Hakusensha series launched in 2020, 野良猫と狼 (Noraneko to Ōokami) pits a lone, feral stray against a formidable wolf in a stark, modern urban landscape. The story's tension is built on the raw, instinctual clash between two solitary predators, exploring themes of survival and territory. A concise, atmospheric work from a major Japanese publisher, it lingers in the memory for its lean, evocative storytelling.
