The manga Ookami yo, Furuete Nemure by Chie Inudoh will be published in France by Vega under the title Reine des bandits starting on 23 October. This release marks the first time the series will be available outside Japan. The work, which was completed in two volumes in its country of origin, will be released in France as a single 400-page integral edition priced at 19€. This format allows readers to experience the full story in one volume, rather than purchasing multiple separate books.
In Japan, the series was initially serialized in 2024-2025 in the prestigious magazine Harta, published by Enterbrain/Kadokawa. Harta is known for featuring a variety of genres, including action, drama, and historical fiction, and is popular among manga readers. The serialization of Ookami yo, Furuete Nemure in Harta suggests that the story is intended for a mature audience, with themes that include crime, revenge, and complex character relationships.
The story follows Maya, the daughter of a police chief who grew up in Indian high society. She is sent to infiltrate a group of bandits in the Chambal Valley in 1983, a region known for its rugged terrain and historical ties to criminal activity. During her mission, Maya encounters Kareena, a thief from a poor background. As the plot unfolds, Maya uncovers Kareena's past and her deep desire for revenge for her husband's death. This intertwining of personal and professional conflicts adds depth to the narrative.
The release of Reine des bandits in France is part of a growing trend of international manga publishing, which allows readers outside Japan to access stories that might not be widely available in their native languages. This edition is expected to attract both fans of the original series and newcomers interested in historical crime dramas with complex characters and emotional depth.
