Merched Beca — or “Rebecca’s Daughters” — were the protesters behind the Rebecca Riots, a series of uprisings that took place across west and mid-Wales between 1839 and 1843. Farmers and labourers targeted tollgates that charged heavy fees for using local roads. They often carried out their raids dressed as women. This design reimagines that moment of Welsh history through an anime-inspired panel layout, with scenes arranged like frames from a manga comic. Figures charge forward with staffs and tools, confronting the tollgate guards in a series of dramatic snapshots. At the top of the design the Japanese word 戦い (tatakai) — meaning battle or fight — sets the tone, linking the historic Welsh uprising with the visual language of Japanese action comics. A striking graphic that blends a dramatic chapter of Welsh history with bold manga-style storytelling.
