Ariadne- L'empire céleste #16

Norihiro Yagi's *Ariadne — L'empire céleste* reaches its sixteenth volume with a cover that's quietly striking: two young women stand back-to-back, gazes averted, one in a soft pink outfit with delicate embroidery and the other clad in a sleek, armored blue suit with long teal hair cascading down her back. The cool, shadowy forest tones behind them lend the composition a contemplative tension that feels very much at home in this fantasy series. A compelling addition to the collection for anyone following the story through Glénat's 2023 French edition.
