Aphorism #3

Volume 3 of Karuna Kujō's Aphorism arrives from Pika Édition with a cover that pulls no punches — a sharp-featured young man in a school uniform thrusts a bloodied, gore-streaked fist toward the viewer, a mystic symbol etched across his forehead, while a second uniformed figure stands poised in the background, weapon in hand. The splatter of crimson against the stark white background sets a visceral, high-stakes tone that fans of dark survival manga will immediately recognize. This 2015 release promises the series is pushing its characters — and its brutality — to intense new heights.
