Clockwork Planet #5

Volume 5 of Clockwork Planet centers on RyuZU, the automaton girl in her striking red-and-white maid outfit, her mechanical hand clutching both a glowing geometric cube and a small teddy bear — a quietly striking contrast of precision and innocence. Her red eyes and gear-adorned headpiece perfectly capture the series' blend of intricate clockwork aesthetics and emotionally charged storytelling. With story by Yuu Kamiya and Tsubaki Himana, manga by Kuro, and character design by Sino, this 2017 Kodansha USA release continues to deliver the inventive world-building that fans of No Game No Life have come to love.
