Black Bird #10

Kanoko Sakurakoji's supernatural shojo romance continues in this tenth volume, its cover alive with tension: a auburn-haired young woman in a white kimono reaches upward beside an empty birdcage while dark feathers and sweeping black wings surround her, red spatters marking her sleeve and collar. Blooming pink peonies anchor the lower left while small silhouetted birds dot the composition, creating a striking contrast between delicacy and danger. It's a beautifully composed image that captures the series' signature blend of elegance and unease.
