Nyankees

Nyankees (2020–2021) from Bamboo Édition is a six-issue comedy series that recasts classic yakuza tropes with a cast of feline gangsters, each scrapping for territory and pride in a neighborhood ruled by claws and catnip. Written and illustrated by the same creator, the book blends deadpan humor with surprisingly tender moments, making it a distinctive entry in the publisher's catalog. It matters as a clever, self-contained genre parody that proves even the toughest street brawls are more fun when they involve hissing and fur.
