Arata #15

Volume 15 of Yuu Watase's Arata brings together a striking ensemble on its cover — five richly costumed characters cascade across the frame in a swirl of gold, green, and violet, their elaborate armor and flowing hair suggesting a world where fantasy and fierce rivalry intertwine. Kurokawa's French edition presents this shounen adventure in fine form, and the dense, layered composition hints at just how crowded — and compelling — the story's cast has grown by this point in the series.
