刃牙らへん [Baki Rahen] #5

Volume 5 of Baki Rahen announces itself with a visceral close-up of a bespectacled fighter — face battered, expression utterly unbroken — rendered in Keisuke Itagaki's signature hyper-detailed style. The cracked surface behind him and the taut lines crossing his face suggest someone who has just endured something punishing and isn't done yet. Fans of the Baki franchise will find this entry from Akita Shoten carries the same unflinching intensity the series has always delivered.
