Badducks #1

Three figures burst through a landscape of debris on Toryumon Takeda's cover for this Ki-oon seinen volume: a sharp-eyed young man lunges forward while a green-haired woman clutching keys and hauling a large trunk holds a wide-eyed toddler between them — the whole composition radiating urgency and barely-contained chaos. The back-cover copy introduces Morgan Gray, a survivor who loses everything on the day he means to propose to his girlfriend Olivia, setting the stage for what promises to be a propulsive, emotionally grounded escape story. Collecting 8 episodes plus a bonus, Badducks Vol. 1 arrives as a confident, visually energetic opener from Takeda and Ki-oon's seinen line.
