ダークギャザリング [Dark Gathering] #12

Volume 12 of Kenichi Kondo's Dark Gathering presents a striking cover dominated by a pale, pink-haired figure in a wide-brimmed black hat and sweeping dark cloak, holding up a small green card against a deep violet, star-scattered sky and an ominous full moon. The mood is equal parts eerie and theatrical — exactly the unsettling atmosphere this supernatural manga from Shueisha's Jump Comics SQ line delivers. Kondo's linework gives the character a wild, grinning intensity that makes this volume hard to set back down on the shelf.
