Blue Sheep Reverie #5

Makoto Tateno's yaoi series reaches its fifth volume with a cover that crackles with tension — a blond, blue-eyed young man grips a dagger and prayer beads while a dark-haired companion in a red vest stands close at his side, their expressions cool and guarded. Looming in the blue-tinted background are two silhouetted figures poised with weapons, hinting at the dangerous world these two navigate together. Published by Digital Manga's June imprint in 2012, this is a stylish, brooding entry in a series that blends action and intimate drama with real flair.
