Beelzebub #5

Volume 5 of Ryuhei Tamura's Beelzebub brings together the series' core cast in fine form — the cover features a sharp-eyed delinquent teen front and center, a pacifier-sporting baby perched nearby, and a gothic-dressed blonde girl clutching a smaller pink-haired child, all set against a stormy backdrop. Published by Kazé as part of the Shōnen Jump Manga line, this 2011 French-language edition captures the wild energy that makes the series such an entertaining mix of brawler attitude and absurd domestic comedy. Tamura's character designs are immediately striking, and this volume promises more of the chaotic fun fans have come to expect.
