くろアゲハ [Black Beard] #3

Volume 3 of Atsushi Kase's くろアゲハ (Black Beard) keeps the energy high with a cover that puts two confident, grinning characters front and center — a spiky-haired young man in a bold red jacket and a striking blonde woman, both posed on a flame-detailed Kawasaki motorcycle against a moody, dark background. The chemistry between the two is immediately apparent, and the chrome-styled title lettering gives the whole package a slick, street-cool attitude. Published by Kōdansha as part of their Monthly Shonen Magazine Comics line, this volume is a solid pickup for fans of motorcycle culture and youthful, high-octane manga.
