7 Seeds #9

Yumi Tamura's post-apocalyptic survival series continues with this ninth volume from Pika Édition, rendered in striking red and white tones that give the cover an urgent, wintry intensity. Two young figures dominate the scene — a determined young man in a red jacket gripping a staff or rod, and a shorter companion in black at his side — both framed against a swirling, almost blizzard-like background. Whether facing the elements or something far more dangerous, the cover captures the grit and tension that makes *7 Seeds* such a compelling read in 2010.
