Black Cat #20

Volume 20 of Kentaro Yabuki's Black Cat arrives in this French Glénat edition with a cover that feels like a warm farewell — a collage of familiar faces from across the series, smiling and reflective, surrounding the central dark-haired protagonist at the heart of it all. The subtitle "Vers un lendemain libre et insouciant" ("Toward a carefree, free tomorrow") sets a bittersweet, hopeful tone perfectly matched by the soft, golden palette Yabuki brings to this gathering of characters. It's a fitting close to an adventure that French manga readers were following closely in 2006.
