Ash & Eli #5

Volume 5 of Mamiya Takizaki's Ash & Eli arrives with a striking cover that puts a determined young blonde hero front and center, red scarf billowing as he grips a jagged, glowing weapon — while a massive dark spirit with broad wings looms behind him in shades of deep blue. The contrast between the boy's fierce stance and the towering supernatural force at his back sets a mood that's both thrilling and full of stakes. Published by Ki-oon's shonen imprint in 2014, this is the series at full stride.
