Arachnid #12

Volume 12 of Arachnid, published by Soleil Manga in 2017, brings readers another intense chapter of this gripping series from writer Shinta Mikami and artist Shinsen Ifuji. The cover draws you in immediately with two school-uniformed young women in close, charged proximity — one green-haired and bespectacled, her hand raised toward the other's face in a moment that crackles with ambiguous tension. It's a quietly unsettling composition that captures the series' knack for weaving danger and intimacy into everyday settings.
