A Certain Magical Index #26

Volume 26 of Kazuma Kamachi and Chuya Kogino's A Certain Magical Index arrives with a striking cover: a dark-haired, red-eyed young woman in a blue-and-gold military-style jacket raises a sword overhead, a glowing magical sigil hovering behind her against a vivid yellow-and-black swirling backdrop. The tension radiating from her expression and stance perfectly captures the blend of sorcery and action that has kept this Ki-oon Shonen series compelling well into its run.
