Birdcage Castle #2

The delicate, monochromatic cover of Birdcage Castle Vol. 2 sets a quietly haunting tone — a pale, long-haired figure rests amid scattered books and ornate drapery, while a vivid blue bird perches in a wire cage, its color the sole warm accent in an otherwise grey world. Toutarou Minami's linework feels intimate and melancholy, balancing opulence with confinement in a single glance. Published by Bamboo Édition in 2018 under their Doki-Doki imprint, this second volume promises a story where beauty and captivity are never far apart.
