薔薇王の葬列 [Bara Ou no Souretsu / Requiem of the Rose King] #6

Volume 6 of Aya Kanno's Requiem of the Rose King presents a striking close-up of a armored figure with vivid red hair cradling a handful of crushed, blood-dark roses — the contrast between cold steel and bruised petals giving the image an aching, elegiac weight. The haunted expression on the figure's face speaks volumes about the toll of power and loss that defines this series' brooding retelling of the Wars of the Roses. A beautifully composed cover that captures the manga's signature blend of medieval pageantry and emotional intensity.
