Black Bird #7

Volume 7 of Kanoko Sakurakouji's Black Bird, published by Pika Édition in 2011, brings its signature blend of romance and supernatural tension to the fore. The cover draws you in immediately with two figures — a composed, silver-haired young man in dark robes and a golden-haired young woman pressed close to him, her hands raised delicately to her face amid swirling green leaves. It's a beautifully atmospheric image that captures the series' emotional intensity with real elegance.
