A Certain Magical Index #14

Volume 14 of Chuya Kogino's manga adaptation — from Kazuma Kamachi's original story with character designs by Kiyotaka Haimura — opens with a warmly nostalgic collage feel, as a spiky-haired Touma gazes upward with wide-eyed wonder against a golden backdrop of fireworks and city skyline. Surrounding him in snapshot-style vignettes are several familiar faces caught in cheerful, celebratory moments, including a long-haired girl whose quiet, pensive portrait anchors the lower corner. It's a cover that balances action-series energy with genuine heart, making this 2018 Yen Press release feel like a welcome chapter in a story that clearly means a lot to its characters.
