Altaïr #8

Volume 8 of Kotono Kato's Altaïr arrives in fine form, its cover showcasing the series' signature blend of political intrigue and sumptuous visual style. The young protagonist commands the frame — golden-haired and sharp-eyed, sword raised, draped in richly jeweled and embroidered regalia — every gem and ornament rendered with the meticulous care Kato brings to this world. Published by Glénat in 2015, this volume is a visual treat for anyone drawn to beautifully crafted manga with an Ottoman-inspired aesthetic.
