Shinichi Sakamoto takes Bram Stoker's Dracula and rebuilds it around a single, audacious change: Mina Murray is no longer the passive heroine but the center of the story, a student at an English boarding school where the count's arrival turns the campus into a battleground. The familiar pieces are here (Lucy, Van Helsing, the ship that runs aground at Whitby) but reshaped, queered, and made strange. Sakamoto draws it as pure visual maximalism, his most unrestrained art yet. It's ongoing, so the story is still unfolding, but each volume is a showcase. Less a faithful adaptation than a fever-bright reimagining that uses Stoker as a launchpad.
