ししまいガール [Shishimai Girl]

A short-lived but visually striking two-issue series from 2016, published by Kōdansha, Shishimai Girl blends traditional Japanese lion dance (shishimai) folklore with a contemporary schoolgirl premise. The series is best known for its dynamic art and cultural fusion, offering a compact, self-contained story that stands out for its unique thematic mashup. Though brief, it remains a memorable footnote in manga for its creative integration of performance and fantasy.
