La Mécanique Du Cœur by Mathias Malzieu
Set in the late 19th century, this whimsical tale follows the life of Jack, a boy born with a frozen heart that is kept alive by a mechanical clock. Forbidden to fall in love, lest his fragile heart shatter, Jack embarks on a journey across Europe in pursuit of a beautiful singer named Miss Acacia. Along the way, he encounters a cast of eccentric characters and faces the challenges of love, identity, and self-discovery, all while grappling with the delicate balance between his emotions and the ticking of his heart.
