Black Rose Alice #3

Volume 3 of Setona Mizushiro's Black Rose Alice delivers gothic romance at its most unsettling, with a cover that says everything — a pale, bespectacled figure looms over a dark-haired figure lying helpless below, blood trailing between them against a backdrop of white roses and ornate tilework. The tension between intimacy and danger is palpable, rendered in Mizushiro's elegantly precise linework. Published by Kazé in 2010, this volume is a compelling invitation into a world where beauty and menace are inseparable.
