ちはやふる [Chihaya Furu] #21

A bespectacled young man dominates this cover with an expression of raw, wide-mouthed intensity — surrounding him are several fish rendered in cool blue-green tones, creating an arresting, almost surreal atmosphere. Yuki Suetsugu's long-running competitive karuta series continues to deliver emotionally charged imagery that perfectly captures the passion at the heart of the story. Volume 21 is a compelling entry in one of manga's most beloved sports dramas.
