ブルーロック [Blue Lock] #34

Volume 34 of Kōdansha's hit soccer manga Blue Lock puts a decidedly unsettling face front and center — an older, grey-haired man with a wide, almost unnerving grin, clutching a long chain of golden coins or medallions in both hands. The pale peach background keeps all the focus on his expression and that gleaming chain, radiating a sense of power, manipulation, and high-stakes dealings. If this cover is any indication, the series continues to deliver compelling, off-kilter character work that goes well beyond the pitch.
