Dernière Heure #1

The opening volume of Dernière Heure, published by Éditions Akata in 2017, makes an immediate impression: a young girl in a sailor-style school uniform stands quietly against a soft, pastel horizon, an assault rifle slung at her side — a striking contrast that sets the tone with quiet unease. Creator Yū presents a cover that blends the gentle aesthetics of slice-of-life manga with something far more unsettling, inviting readers to wonder what circumstances have placed that weapon in such unlikely hands. At 7,95 EUR, this first volume is a compelling entry point into what promises to be a thought-provoking series.
