超神伝説うろつき童子 [Chōjin Densetsu Urotsukidōji] #1

A striking opening volume in Toshio Maeda's Urotsukidōji series, this first installment sets the tone with a cover that pits a serene, glowing young figure against a massive, clawed demon writhing in a storm of lightning — the contrast between the two is immediately arresting. Published by Wanimagazine, this is dark fantasy manga rendered with raw, muscular energy that pulls you in from the first glance. Fans of bold, supernatural storytelling will find plenty to intrigue them right from this opening chapter.
