Bota Bota #[nn]

Paru Itagaki (Beastars) brings a distinctly unsettling vision to this Ki-oon seinen volume, with a cover that grabs you immediately: a young woman with wide, mismatched eyes tilts her head back, smiling broadly while blood drips freely from her mouth and down her throat. The cheerful title lettering — each letter dotted with little droplets — plays against that visceral image in a way that feels both playful and genuinely unnerving. If you're drawn to manga that sits at the uncomfortable edge between warmth and dread, Bota Bota (2025) looks like exactly that kind of ride.
