Chroniques de la Mariée de Bretagne #2

The second volume of Junji Takehara's Chroniques de la Mariée de Bretagne arrives from Kurokawa with a cover that immediately sets a medieval tone — a determined young figure in a red surcoat emblazoned with a golden lion stands armored and sword in hand, while a second character observes quietly in the background. The heraldic detail and steely expression suggest a story where identity, duty, and chivalric ambition are very much at play. If the first volume drew you into this historical manga world, volume two looks every bit as compelling a reason to keep reading.
