青のミブロ [Ao no Miburo] #9

Volume 9 of Ao no Miburo presents a striking cover featuring a determined young man in traditional Japanese kimono, one arm raised and a katana at his side, rendered in rich shades of teal and blue against a vibrant green background. Creator Tsuyoshi Yasuda's signature style brings real intensity to this Shinsengumi-era series, and the figure's sharp, focused gaze hints at the high-stakes world waiting inside. Published by Kōdansha under their Shonen Magazine Comics imprint, this volume is a solid addition to one of shonen manga's more thoughtful takes on the Bakumatsu period.
