クリムゾン・スペル [Crimson Spell] #2

Two elegantly rendered figures — a silver-haired man gripping an ornate sword and a darker-haired companion close behind him — fill this beautifully composed cover from やまねあやの (Yamane Ayano), conveying both tension and intimacy in equal measure. Published by Tokuma Shoten under their Chara Comics imprint, this second volume of Crimson Spell promises the same lush, detailed artwork that fans of the fantasy boys'-love genre will find immediately appealing. The rich golds and muted purples of the palette give the whole image a sumptuous, almost painterly quality that makes it a pleasure to hold.
