Blade of the Immortal #107

Hiroaki Samura's Blade of the Immortal continues its gripping run with issue #107, the first chapter of the "Shortcut" arc. The cover draws you in close with two figures — a pale, auburn-haired woman in green pressing near a dark-haired young woman in red, whose bloodied hand hints at danger already unfolding — while a disembodied hand looms ominously in the upper corner. It's an intimate, unsettling composition that captures exactly the kind of quiet tension Samura does so beautifully.
