Tokyo, 1962. Yasuko is working in a restaurant instead of going to college. This is not how things were meant to be! So she decides to set off alone and find her father in the United States. At the same time, in the Red Forest, a kind but lazy yokai called Beto is sent to live among humans to help Yasuko. He can't return home until he completes his mission. But on their journey, Beto and Yasuko attract the attention of two yakuza, who will do anything to prove that yokai exist…

Where will our heroes' extraordinary adventure take them other than the United States? What mysteries is the Red Forest hiding?

With Yasuko, a series in four volumes, Julien Frey and Baptiste Pagani tell a touching and humorous story of the search to find a father, friendship and the freedom to be different.
