Beastars #22

Paru Itagaki's acclaimed animal-society manga reaches its twenty-second volume, with this Ki-oon seinen edition's cover presenting a striking image: a large, menacing wolf-like figure looms with outstretched clawed hands, while a small white rabbit rests quietly below — a contrast that speaks to the series' ongoing tension between predator and prey. The cool blue tones and intense gaze of the beast make for a cover that is both unsettling and beautifully composed. A compelling addition to one of the most thoughtful anthropomorphic manga series of 2022.
