Blending supernatural horror, science fiction, mystery, and action, YAN has captivated readers and critics alike with its cinematic storytelling, richly detailed artwork, and emotionally charged exploration of justice, revenge, identity, and fate.

Created by award-winning Taiwanese artist and writer, Chang Sheng, the series follows the enigmatic Yan Tieh-Hua — a woman officially declared dead a decade earlier — whose violent return sets off a chain of murders, supernatural revelations, and time-bending conspiracies stretching from Taiwan’s past into a dystopian AI-controlled future.

Released by Titan Manga in English for the first time, YAN has received widespread critical acclaim for its dynamic action choreography, genre-defying narrative, and immersive visual style.

YAN VOL. 1 was released in June 2025, followed by YAN VOL. 2 in September 2025. The newly released YAN VOL. 3, published on May 12, 2026, continues the sprawling supernatural thriller as its mysteries deepen and the stakes escalate across timelines.
