BOX ～箱の中に何かいる～ #1

A Rubik's Cube rendered in bold yellow, red, and blue panels serves as the striking centerpiece of this first volume from Kōdansha, each face of the puzzle filled with the manga-style portraits of different characters — women and figures whose expressions range from curious to unsettling. The subtitle translates roughly to "What's Inside the Box?", and that sense of mystery is perfectly captured in a cover design that literally locks its cast inside a scrambled puzzle waiting to be solved. It's a wonderfully clever visual concept that immediately promises a character-driven story with something intriguing hidden at its core.
