Clockwork Planet #9

Volume 9 of Clockwork Planet puts a cheerful, pink-haired automaton front and center — adorned with floral accessories, a gear-studded corset, and a mechanical collar, she poses with a large clockwork gear in hand, radiating the series' signature blend of whimsy and intricate machinery. Story by Yuu Kamiya and Tsubaki Himana (the team behind No Game No Life) with manga by Kuro and character designs by Sino, this 2019 Kodansha USA release keeps the aesthetic sharp and lively. If the geared-up world of a planet built entirely from clockwork appeals to you, this volume looks like a very enjoyable continuation of the ride.
