Dawn of the Arcana #9

Volume 9 of Rei Toma's Dawn of the Arcana puts a quietly confident young man front and center — dressed in a white coat with a deep crimson wrap and a belted sash, he leans casually against an ornate staircase railing with a subtle, knowing smile. Roman numerals arc around the bold red title emblem, lending the composition an air of mystery and measured elegance that suits this Shojo Beat fantasy series perfectly. Toma's artwork is as polished as ever, making this a handsome addition to the shelf for anyone following the series.
