RETURN TO THE BEGINNINGS OF THE BLOODY REVOLUTION WITH “INNOCENT ROUGE”

 

Shin’ichi Sakamoto’s “Innocent” Manga Continues in English in the sequel from Dark Horse

MILWAUKIE, Ore., (February 26, 2025)— Manga creator Shin’ichi Sakamoto’s beloved, blood-soaked historical drama series continues, as Dark Horse Manga presents Innocent Rouge Omnibus Volume 1. Following the series Innocent, now collected in three omnibus volumes by Dark Horse, the first omnibus volume of Innocent Rouge collects the first three volumes of the original Japanese manga series inspired by the brutality and beauty of the dawn of the French Revolution. Translated by Michael Gombos (Innocent, FLCL) with lettering by Susie Lee and Studio Cutie (Innocent, Berserk), fans can expect the aristocracy and conspiracy to return in October 2025.

In Innocent Rouge:

The dawn of the French Revolution is rife with intrigue, nobility, and revenge! Charles-Henri Sanson reigns as the head of a family of executioners. His dreams of a world without execution have faded as the legacy of House Sanson takes precedence. His younger sister Marie-Joseph, stationed at the office of Versailles, lives free—unshackled by the precepts of society, and her cavalier attitude towards duty jeopardizes the sanctity of that legacy. Following the death of her first love, Alain, she sets herself on a crimson-soaked path of vengeance. She will stop at nothing to expose the murderer and overthrow the unjust system that cost him his life.

Can Charles-Henri Sanson uphold the family legacy? Or will it be left in ruin when Innocent Rouge Omnibus Volume 1, the 608-page (5.75” x 8.25”) paperback arrives in bookstores and comic shops on October 21st and 22nd, 2025, for $29.99.
