Animal Kingdom #6

A spirited volume in Makoto Raiku's Animal Kingdom series, this sixth installment from Ki-oon kids showcases a striking cover featuring a determined young boy in elaborate tribal-style armor adorned with butterfly-like wings, standing boldly against a swirling backdrop of water and ghostly animal spirits. Behind him, a girl in a sailor hat looks on, while the energy of the wild world surrounding them practically leaps off the page. Published in 2014, it's a great entry point to see why this adventure-driven manga earned its place in Ki-oon's lineup.
