Freaks’ Squeele Vol. 1

Imagine a universe where universities exist to not only train future masked vigilantes to manage their superpowers and develop their heroism, but to master their image in the media. This is the world of Freaks Squeele. You’ll meet Chance the demonette, Shadow the werewolf stuck in his animal form, and Xiong Mao, the model student who has no powers but is a hard worker. At the Academic Faculty of Hero Studies, these three first-year students will discover the joys of university life, the merciless competition of other students, sadistic professors, and the stress of exams.

Part X-Men Academy, part Dungeons & Dragons, this celebrated series by author Florent Maudoux is a unique blend of manga and Western comics, which has spawned multiple spinoffs in its native Europe and beyond.
