Darwin's Game #19

Volume 19 of FliFlops' survival-action series arrives with a striking cover pairing: a blonde girl in an elaborate red ruffled dress, her long braids threaded through a gold chain that ends in a sharp anchor-like weapon, crouches in the foreground with intense red eyes, while a dark-haired young man in a white hoodie raises a handgun behind her. The contrast between her ornate, almost formal attire and his casual combat stance makes for a visually compelling duo that captures the series' knack for mixing style with high-stakes tension. Published by Ki-oon under their seinen imprint, this 2020 French edition is a solid addition to one of the more gripping battle-game manga running at the time.
