Air Gear #13

Volume 13 of Oh!Great's Air Gear arrives from Pika Édition with a cover that puts two blue-haired characters front and center — one in a light jacket clutching a worn, oversized glove, the other in a decorated wide-brim hat and dark patterned outfit, the two figures leaning close in an intense, almost confrontational pose. The soft pink background keeps all the visual energy focused on their sharp-eyed expressions and distinctive street fashion. If you've been following this stylish French-language run of the series, 2009's thirteenth volume looks like a compelling reason to keep going.
