Arifureta: From Commonplace to World’s Strongest Zero #5

The fifth volume of this prequel manga series puts a self-assured, teal-haired young woman front and center — dressed in a striking white-and-blue outfit with a wide-brimmed hat and gold-accented armor, she gazes at the reader with a confident smile as water swirls dramatically around her. Ataru Kamichi's art brings real energy to the cover, with a warm golden background hinting at arcane imagery that suits the Arifureta world beautifully. Based on Ryo Shirakome's original story with character designs by Takaya-ki, this 2021 volume is a fine entry point into the lore behind one of isekai's more adventurous fantasy settings.
