青のミブロ [Ao no Miburo] #4

Volume 4 of Ao no Miburo presents a striking close-up of its sharp-eyed young protagonist, gripping the hilt of a sword with quiet intensity against a cool blue-and-white background. The clean, confident linework by Tsuyoshi Yasuda captures both the character's youthful determination and the unmistakable tension of a swordsman on the edge of action. Published by Kōdansha under the Shōnen Magazine Comics imprint, this volume continues what looks to be a compelling, atmospherically drawn tale rooted in the world of the sword.
