くろアゲハ [Black Beard] #5

Volume 5 of Atsushi Kase's くろアゲハ from Kōdansha's Monthly Shonen Magazine Comics line arrives with a striking cover: a determined young woman in an ornate red-and-gold military uniform grips a cavalry saber, her long blonde hair flowing against a soft teal sky. The iron cross medallion at her chest and the epauletted cape at her shoulders give her an air of commanding authority, while the small black butterfly emblem on the volume number quietly echoes the series' title. It's a confident, visually polished entry in the series that fans of military-flavored shonen adventure will want on their shelf.
