Gaëlle Geniller in Tokyo !

From Saturday 1 November to Sunday 2 November 2025, Gaëlle Geniller will be taking part in the first edition of the Tokyo BD Festival.

Her works delicately explore themes such as gender, self-acceptance, family and the power of emotions, and are characterised by poetic visuals and a gentle narrative tone. Among her most representative works are ‘Le Jardin, Paris,’ set in a 1920s cabaret, and ‘Minuit passé,’ a fantastical story between a father and his child.

作家プロフィール

Gaëlle Geniller
（ガエル・ジェニエ）

Gaëlle Geniller was born in 1996 in Saint-Priest, in the Rhône region of France. She lives in Paris. She grew up surrounded by forests and nature in Marcilly-le-Châtel, a small village in the Loire region. Since secondary school, she has always loved creating comic strips, which she would share with her friends. With a BTS diploma in animation design, she worked in an animation studio for a few months until the opportunity arose to work on her first comic book, Les Fleurs de grand frère, published in 2019 by Éditions Delcourt. This children's book was her first critical and public success.

In 2021, Gaëlle Geniller once again tackles the theme of difference through her unique lens with Le Jardin, Paris, the story of Rose, a boy who grows up in a Parisian cabaret in the 1920s.

Special Mention Pass Culture 2025 (Canal BD Independent Booksellers' Prize) for Minuit Passé.
