Orochi

A modern horror anthology from French publisher Le Lézard Noir, Orochi (2020–present) follows a mysterious, ageless woman who wanders through Japanese society, bearing witness to humanity’s darkest impulses. Across its four issues, the series weaves self-contained tales of psychological dread and supernatural menace, echoing the eerie, atmospheric storytelling of classic horror manga. The title is most associated with its creator, whose precise, unsettling artwork and slow-burn narratives have earned the series a cult following among connoisseurs of international horror comics. Orochi matters as a sophisticated, transnational entry in the horror genre, proving that a short, tightly crafted run can leave a lasting, chilling impression.
