バキ道 [Bakidou] #8

Volume 8 of Bakidou wastes no time announcing its intensity — the cover fills almost entirely with a fierce close-up of Baki himself, his wild dark hair framing a face locked in a burning, red-eyed glare that radiates barely contained aggression. Published by Akita Shoten under the Shōnen Champion Comics imprint, this series by Keisuke Itagaki continues its deep dive into the world of martial arts combat with the raw, visceral energy the franchise is known for. If that cover expression is any indication, the tension inside is wound very tight.
