Arata: The Legend #20

Volume 20 of Yuu Watase's Arata: The Legend brings three of the series' most striking characters together in an intense close-up composition — a silver-haired figure with piercing red eyes looms above a determined auburn-haired young man, while a green-haired character fills the foreground, all rendered with the fluid, expressive linework Watase is known for. With a chapter titled "Awakening," the tension radiating from each face on this cover feels entirely earned at this stage of the saga. A satisfying volume for anyone following this Shonen Sunday fantasy adventure through its twentieth chapter collection.
