9番目のムサシ [9 Banme no Musashi] #4

The fourth volume of Miyuki Takahashi's "Mission Blue" arc finds the series in full stride, with this Akita Shoten release showcasing a striking close-up of a long-haired figure rendered in cool, muted tones against a gold-tinged background — the quiet intensity in their expression hinting at the tension this "Fighting Action Opera" promises. It's a beautifully restrained cover that lets the character's presence do all the talking.
