Cage of Eden #12

Volume 12 of Yoshinobu Yamada's survival thriller brings two of the series' young female characters to the forefront, posed together against a hazy, otherworldly green backdrop — one blonde with a red ribbon in her hair dressed in white, the other dark-haired with a lavender bow wearing pink, and notably clutching a drawing book. The pairing feels both intimate and quietly tense, hinting at the bonds and mysteries that define this prehistoric-island saga. At $10.99 from Kodansha USA, it's a solid addition to one of manga's more imaginative survival adventures.
