Black Bird #3

Volume 3 of Kanoko Sakurakouji's Black Bird arrives in this 2011 Pika Édition release, and the cover sets the romantic tension perfectly — a golden-haired young woman and a dark-haired young man share an intensely close moment, framed by sweeping chrysanthemum blossoms in moody grey tones. The elegant contrast between her warmth and his striking black-and-white aesthetic makes for a genuinely beautiful composition. If you're following this supernatural romance, this volume looks like exactly the kind of emotionally charged chapter the series does so well.
