血の轍 [Chi no Wadachi] #13

A haunting close-up of a young man's face dominates this 2022 volume from Shogakukan, rendered in pale, almost ghostly tones that perfectly capture the psychological weight this series is known for. The muted blue-grey palette and the subject's distant, hollow expression set a quietly unsettling mood before a single page is turned. Osamu Pushimi's Chi no Wadachi continues to be one of the most emotionally intense manga series in print, and this thirteenth volume looks no different.
