A visual artist known for creating numerous public sculptures in Japan, Eldo Yoshimizu came to manga later in life, drawn to the narrative possibilities offered by the graphic novel genre known as gegika.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe began by drawing \u003cem\u003eRyuko\u003c\/em\u003e, his first series, then presented it, chapter by chapter, in Tokyo art galleries. This unusual approach was noticed by the French publishing house Le Lézard Noir, which released the complete story in two volumes in 2016 and 2018. A tribute to yakuza films, this arty manga evokes both \u003cem\u003eKill Bill\u003c\/em\u003e and the slender heroines of Leiji Matsumoto. It has now been translated in Italy, Argentina, Germany, and the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn October 2020, \u003cem\u003eGamma Draconis\u003c\/em\u003e paired Eldo Yoshimizu with writer Benoist Simmat for an esoteric thriller set in Europe.
