Apparently, Disillusioned Adventurers Will Save the World #4

Subtitled "The Lovely Paladin," this fourth volume of *Apparently, Disillusioned Adventurers Will Save the World* puts a striking blonde mage front and center — wide-brimmed hat, flowing purple robes, and a glowing blue-tipped staff held ready amid a darkened, cavernous backdrop. Character designer Susumu Kuroi's influence shines through in the confident, sharp-eyed expression that makes her feel equal parts formidable and compelling. Adapted by Masaki Kawakami from Shinta Fuji's original story, this 2024 entry from Yen Press keeps the series' blend of fantasy grit and vivid character work looking sharp.
