Anguilles démoniaques #2

The cover of this second volume says everything with remarkable economy: a close-up pencil portrait of a weathered, hard-eyed man radiates quiet menace, drawn in Yusuke Ochiai's strikingly detailed greyscale linework from a scenario by Yu Takada. Anguilles démoniaques continues to establish itself as one of the more compelling manga releases from Komikku Éditions in 2016, and this brooding face alone is enough to pull you straight into whatever tension volume two has in store.
