Ryoma

A taut three-issue comic from Black Box Éditions, launched in 2017, Ryoma distills the life of the legendary 19th-century Japanese reformer Sakamoto Ryōma into a compact, action-driven narrative. The series focuses on his pivotal role in the Bakumatsu period, blending historical drama with the visual energy of modern comics. While the creative team remains understated, the book's tight focus and European publication mark it as a distinctive, accessible entry point for readers new to this iconic figure.
