Yoann Vornière

Born in 1992, Yoann Vornière decided at the age of 6 that when he grew up he would make comics. When he was at secondary school, he did a work placement at Aquarium, a cartoonists' workshop in Toulouse, where he discovered that making comics wasn't really what he had in mind. In fact, it's even better! It was there that he met Tony Valente, to whom he asked lots of questions. In 2015, he published a comic financed by crowdfunding: Sois heureux ou meurs en essayant (Be happy or die trying), an intimate 200-page black and white comic with the idea of reworking it 5 years later. After living in various towns in France, then Tahiti and French Guiana, he returned to mainland France where he met Jim Bishop. Their meeting gave birth to Jill & Sherlock in 2017.

In 2018, he began work on a new version of Sois heureux ou meurs en essayant, a manga in three volumes.

Since 2020 he has been working on a new adventure manga: Silence.

A subsidiary of the Dargaud group founded in 1996, Kana is a publisher specializing in manga. They quickly set out to meet Japanese publishers and brought back huge successes in French, such as Slam Dunk, Detective Conan and Naruto.

Since then, Kana has continued to broaden the horizons of its catalog, and is now responsible for the French publication of countless series, from the most famous to the most cutting-edge. With its Big Kana, Made In and Shojo collections, Kana has something for everyone.

Kana is also open to local talent, giving a chance to passionate European artists to open the doors to their dreams.

All these fabulous series can be found on the Kana booth!
