ばけもの夜話づくし [Bakemono no Yawadukushi] #8

A dark-robed figure commands the cover of this eighth volume, wielding a glowing lantern wreathed in ethereal blue flame against a swirling backdrop of clouds, blossoms, and richly patterned textiles — the visual language of Japanese folklore rendered in striking monochrome and bursts of vivid color. Kadokawa's Bakemono no Yawadukushi continues to weave its world of supernatural nights with this installment, and the cover's intricate, almost textile-like composition makes it immediately compelling on any shelf.
