The Poe Clan

Moto Hagio’s The Poe Clan (2019–2022) collects the seminal shōjo manga saga first serialized in the 1970s, now published in English by Fantagraphics. This two-issue series follows a pair of aristocratic, ageless siblings navigating immortality and tragedy across centuries, with Hagio’s ethereal art and Rachel Thorn’s translation preserving the gothic romance that redefined Japanese comics for female readers. A landmark of the genre, it remains a haunting, poetic cornerstone of Hagio’s influential oeuvre.
