蒼き鋼のアルペジオ [Aoki Hagane no Arupejio] [Arpeggio of Blue Steel] #10

Volume 10 of Ark Performance's Arpeggio of Blue Steel presents a striking cover image: a dark-haired young woman in a flowing pale kimono adorned with pink cherry blossoms, casually drinking from a bottle while a glowing blue card-like object floats in her other hand — an air of effortless, unsettling calm radiating from her red eyes. The deep crimson folds of fabric pooling around her and the scattered petals give the composition an elegant yet quietly ominous atmosphere that suits this manga's blend of naval warfare and mysterious artificial intelligence. Published under Young King Comics by Shōnen Gahōsha, this volume continues one of manga's more inventive sci-fi series.
