美女が野獣 [Bijo ga Yajuu] #2

Tomo Matsumoto's Beauty is the Beast returns with this elegantly moody second volume, its cover presenting a stylish young woman adorned with a pearl bracelet, black gloves, and a dramatic red bow in her hair, her expression quietly contemplative behind a delicate veil. The lush leopard-print fur draped beside her and the ornate gold mirror framing the volume number give the whole composition a vintage, theatrical glamour. Fans of understated shojo storytelling will find this Hakusensha edition every bit as visually distinctive as the first.
