When the Ogre King's youngest son is born scarcely larger than a human his father wants him killed as an embarassment, but his mother sees in him the possible regeneration of the family, as he alone can mate with humans to breed new, healthy giants and break the destructive cycle of inbreeding.
The story is told across multiple time periods, with the present day being interespersed with passages from [[FictionalDocument in-universe history books]] detailling the history of the giants and their kingdom. Four volumes have been released, although the future of the series is uncertain due to Hubert Boulard's death in February 2020.

* ''The Great Man'' (2018)

!!''The Ogre Gods'' provides examples of:
* AbusiveParents: Petit's father is so disgusted by his human-like size he demands his death ''seconds'' after he was born.
* AristocratsAreEvil: The royal giants are almost exclusively brutal tyrants with zero regard for the lives of their human subjects, and since the days of the god-king they dine on feasts of human flesh on a daily basis.
** Book 2 reveals that the human nobility are barely any better, for while they don't eat people themselves they're quite happy to administrate the giant's empire and treat the peasants like slaves/livestock to feed to their masters.
* BigScrewedUpFamily
* TheCaligula: King Gabaal is cruel, depraved and selfish, with more interest in indulging his various appetites and literally feasting on his subjects than doing any actual ruling. For that matter, most of the ogre kings ([[TheGoodKing with one exception]]) were similarly oppressive and with no regard for humans as anything other than labour and food.
* DecadentCourt
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: Downplayed only slightly with Queen Emione. While her love for her son makes her somewhat sympathetic, she's still as cruel and callous towards humans as any other giant, and her ultimate goal is to restore the giant's dynasty to their former glory and ensure their tyrannical rule lasts forever.
* IHaveNoSon: Petit's father disowns him the instant he's born, dismissing him as an "aberration" to be killed at once.
* LargeAndInCharge: Par for the course in a kingdom of humans ruled by giants. Most of the ogre kings appear to be the largest of their respective generations, with the God-King being the single biggest giant on record.
* OurGiantsAreBigger: The comics are essentially a treatise on giants and how they might operate, and their declining size is the main focus of the story. The Founder was a giant only slightly larger than a human, but the children he had with human women all grew huge, with each subsequent generation growing larger than the last until they peaked with the God-King, after which each generation grew smaller until the birth of Petit, likewise human-sized. The queen hopes for Petit to breed with humans to produce a new generation of healthy giants and break the cycle of inbreeding causing their decline.
* OurOgresAreHungrier: The species is generally referred to as "giants", but "ogre" is used interchangably rather than denoting a separate species. Although the newer generations of smaller, more deformed giants more closely resemble stereotypical ogres compared to their more humanoid ancestors.
* PeopleFarms: A massive human farm is built into the side of the Castle Mountain to provide the giants with a food supply.
* PretentiousLatinMotto: For the royal family of giants: ''Mundus Nostrum Catillum Est'' ("The World is our Plate"). For the chamberlains: ''Manus Deorum'' ("Hands of the Gods").
* RoyalInbreeding: After the Founder's children proved too large to feasibly breed with humans, and due to an apparent lack of other giant families anywhere in the known world,
** RoyallyScrewedUp: The royal family's constant inbreeding resulted in a physical and moral decline, growing gradually smaller, more deformed, and with shorter lifespans, even as they became increasingly cruel, brutal and depraved.
* ToServeMan: The giant's diet consists almost exclusively of humans, to the point of having a huge farm installed beneath their castle. This practice is actually relatively recent, as the generations prior to the God-King didn't eat humans, but as he considered himself divine he believed that mundane food wasn't good enough, and all other giants followed his example until it became their main diet.
* VillainousIncest: Every generation of the family since the Founder wed brothers to sisters as well as cousins, more due to the [[HotSkittyOnWailordAction impossible mechanics]] of mating with humans than anything else.

The story is told across multiple time periods, with the present day being interespersed with passages from [[FictionalDocument in-universe history books]] detailling the history of the giants and their kingdom. Four volumes have been released, although the future of the series is uncertain due to Hubert Boulard's death in February 2020.
* ''Petit'' (2014)
* ''Half-Blood'' (2016)
* ''The Great Man'' (2018)
* ''First Born'' (2020)
----
!!''The Ogre Gods'' provides examples of:
* AbusiveParents: Petit's father is so disgusted by his human-like size he demands his death ''seconds'' after he was born.
* AristocratsAreEvil: The royal giants are almost exclusively brutal tyrants with zero regard for the lives of their human subjects, and since the days of the god-king they dine on feasts of human flesh on a daily basis.
** Book 2 reveals that the human nobility are barely any better, for while they don't eat people themselves they're quite happy to administrate the giant's empire and treat the peasants like slaves/livestock to feed to their masters.
* BigScrewedUpFamily
* TheCaligula: King Gabaal is cruel, depraved and selfish, with more interest in indulging his various appetites and literally feasting on his subjects than doing any actual ruling. For that matter, most of the ogre kings ([[TheGoodKing with one exception]]) were similarly oppressive and with no regard for humans as anything other than labour and food.
* DecadentCourt
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: Downplayed only slightly with Queen Emione. While her love for her son makes her somewhat sympathetic, she's still as cruel and callous towards humans as any other giant, and her ultimate goal is to restore the giant's dynasty to their former glory and ensure their tyrannical rule lasts forever.
* IHaveNoSon: Petit's father disowns him the instant he's born, dismissing him as an "aberration" to be killed at once.
* LargeAndInCharge: Par for the course in a kingdom of humans ruled by giants. Most of the ogre kings appear to be the largest of their respective generations, with the God-King being the single biggest giant on record.
* OurGiantsAreBigger: The comics are essentially a treatise on giants and how they might operate, and their declining size is the main focus of the story. The Founder was a giant only slightly larger than a human, but the children he had with human women all grew huge, with each subsequent generation growing larger than the last until they peaked with the God-King, after which each generation grew smaller until the birth of Petit, likewise human-sized. The queen hopes for Petit to breed with humans to produce a new generation of healthy giants and break the cycle of inbreeding causing their decline.
* OurOgresAreHungrier: The species is generally referred to as "giants", but "ogre" is used interchangably rather than denoting a separate species. Although the newer generations of smaller, more deformed giants more closely resemble stereotypical ogres compared to their more humanoid ancestors.
* PeopleFarms: A massive human farm is built into the side of the Castle Mountain to provide the giants with a food supply.
* PretentiousLatinMotto: For the royal family of giants: ''Mundus Nostrum Catillum Est'' ("The World is our Plate"). For the chamberlains: ''Manus Deorum'' ("Hands of the Gods").
* RoyalInbreeding: After the Founder's children proved too large to feasibly breed with humans, and due to an apparent lack of other giant families anywhere in the known world,
** RoyallyScrewedUp: The royal family's constant inbreeding resulted in a physical and moral decline, growing gradually smaller, more deformed, and with shorter lifespans, even as they became increasingly cruel, brutal and depraved.
* ToServeMan: The giant's diet consists almost exclusively of humans, to the point of having a huge farm installed beneath their castle. This practice is actually relatively recent, as the generations prior to the God-King didn't eat humans, but as he considered himself divine he believed that mundane food wasn't good enough, and all other giants followed his example until it became their main diet.
* VillainousIncest: Every generation of the family since the Founder wed brothers to sisters as well as cousins, more due to the [[HotSkittyOnWailordAction impossible mechanics]] of mating with humans than anything else.
