Shin Zero: The Manga by Label 619
Shin Zero is a new French manga-inspired series. Spanning three volumes, it is published by Label 619 under Editions Rue de Sèvres. Written by
Mathieu Bablet and masterfully illustrated by Guillaume Singelin, the series draws inspiration from Japanese
Sentai. The story takes place twenty years after the final defeat of the
kaijus by the colorful Sentai heroes, who are now reduced to precarious jobs. The protagonists, Warren, Nikki, Héloïse, Satoshi, and Sofia, are searching for their place in a disillusioned society where heroes have faded into obscurity. The first 216-page volume is set to hit bookstores on January 22, 2025.
