ブラックナイトパレード [Black Night Parade] #1

A darkly festive opening volume from Hikaru Nakamura, Black Night Parade sets its tone immediately: a tall, imposing figure in a military-style uniform and dramatic white ruff stands before a towering, ornament-laden Christmas tree, surrounded by wrapped gifts — the mood equal parts holiday pageantry and ominous grandeur. The deep burgundy and gold palette gives the whole scene a richly theatrical weight that feels anything but cheerful in the conventional sense. Published by Shueisha, this first volume promises a Christmas mythology with a distinctly shadowy edge.
