8人の戦士 [Hachinin no Senshi] #2

Two figures — one dark-haired and wearing glasses, the other with lighter, tousled hair — are draped together in what appears to be water, their closeness charged with quiet tension on this softly rendered cover. The 8 Warriors Vol. 2 from Libre's BBC Deluxe line continues the series with art by 池玲文 (Ike Reibun), whose fluid linework and delicate coloring give the scene an intimate, almost dreamlike quality. A compelling pick for fans of boys' love manga with an eye for understated emotional atmosphere.
