ACCA 13-Territory Inspection Department #6

Volume 6 of Natsume Ono's *ACCA: 13-Territory Inspection Department* brings the series to its penultimate chapter with a cover as quietly commanding as the series itself — a sharp profile of the blond, blue-eyed protagonist in his crisp ACCA uniform and red tie, cigarette perched at his lips and a lazy curl of smoke drifting outward. The bold red-stamped title design and the ACCA 13 insignia on his sleeve give the whole image the feel of an official dossier, perfectly suited to this world of bureaucratic intrigue. If you've been following this understated thriller from Yen Press, this 2019 volume is exactly the kind of deliberate, stylish package that makes the series so distinctive.
