雪と墨 [Yuki to Sumi]

Set in Japan's late-Edo period, Yuki to Sumi is a historical drama from Kōdansha that began in 2023, following a young woman who discovers she possesses the power to control snow and ice. As she navigates a rigid, patriarchal society, her abilities attract the attention of both a secretive shogunate agent and a charismatic rebel leader. Written and illustrated by the acclaimed duo of Yuki Urushibara and Sumi Enomoto, the series explores themes of identity, nature, and resistance through lush, atmospheric artwork. With only eight issues published so far, it has quickly become a standout in modern manga for its delicate blend of folklore and political intrigue.
