Anonymous Noise #12

Volume 12 of Ryoko Fukuyama's Anonymous Noise puts a drummer front and center — a dark-haired figure in a black jacket leans intensely over a full drum kit, drumsticks raised mid-strike against a vivid green background scattered with hot-pink stars. The energy radiating from this cover capture perfectly the series' passion for music and the emotional intensity that drives its characters. If you've been following this rock-music shojo series, this 2019 Viz release looks like a volume where the rhythm section gets its well-deserved moment in the spotlight.
