大蛇に嫁いだ娘 [Daija ni Totsuida Musume] #4

A young woman in a flowing pink kimono stands amid a field of vivid red spider lilies, her expression composed yet quietly resolute — and looming behind her, an enormous pale serpent with a striking crimson eye commands the scene with an otherworldly presence. This fourth volume of Daija ni Totsuida Musume ("The Daughter Who Married a Great Serpent") captures the atmospheric tension of folklore and romance that has defined the series. The lush, painterly cover art makes it easy to see why this supernatural tale of a bride and her serpentine partner continues to draw readers in.
