Arata #2

Two striking figures dominate this volume's cover — a pale, wide-eyed character with flowing white hair above, and a second youth with fierce red eyes below, both rendered in Yuu Watase's fluid, expressive line work. The soft whites and warm golds give the composition an almost ethereal quality that balances tension with beauty. A compelling entry in this fantasy series, volume 2 promises the kind of dramatic character dynamics that Watase fans will find immediately engaging.
