ダーウィン事変 [Daauin Jihen] #4

A sunny beach getaway sets the mood for volume 4 of Shun Umezawa's Darwin's Incident, and the cover delivers a cheerful contrast that feels very on-brand for this series. A young woman in a bikini tosses a colorful beach ball in the surf while a heavyset, chimp-like humanoid figure lounges front and center, looking thoroughly unimpressed by the vacation fun — a third figure stands casually in the background against a backdrop of palm trees and a Ferris wheel. It's a relaxed, summery scene with just enough deadpan tension to remind you this is no ordinary beach trip.
