Otogi Matsuri

In the mid-2000s, Bamboo Édition published this 12-issue supernatural horror series, Otogi Matsuri, which weaves Japanese folklore into a modern-day thriller. The story follows a group of teenagers who become entangled with ancient yōkai spirits after a mysterious festival awakens dark forces in their small town. Written and illustrated by Junji Inagawa, the series is notable for its atmospheric blend of traditional ghost stories with contemporary teen drama, offering a compact, self-contained narrative that stands out in the French manga-influenced comics landscape.
