Belgian comic book editor Yves Schlirf who brought "Naruto" to the francophone market has died

RTP Notícias13 September 2026 at 21:20

Belgian comic book editor Yves Schlirf died on Saturday, with the news being confirmed today by publishers Dargaud and Kana, with which he was associated.

Schlirf was a central figure in the expansion of Japanese manga in francophone countries, bringing highly successful commercial works to that market.

Among his greatest editorial successes were the best-sellers of the series "Naruto" by Japanese author Masashi Kishimoto, which became extremely popular with francophone audiences.

His death represents a significant loss for the European comic book sector, having left an important legacy in the democratization of manga in the francophone world.

Why this matters

Schlirf was responsible for bringing Japanese manga to millions of francophone readers, making works like Naruto accessible in that market. His death marks the end of an era for the European comic book industry.
