ドラゴン、家を買う。[Dragon, Ie wo Kau.] #5

A giant bat hangs upside-down center stage on this charming volume five cover, its enormous dark wings spread wide against a moody stone-and-mist backdrop, with smaller bats fluttering around it — all framed by an ornate decorative border that gives the whole composition a delightfully gothic real-estate flair. The series Dragon, Ie wo Kau (Dragon Buys a House) continues its whimsical blend of fantasy and domestic life, and this installment leans fully into that eerie, atmospheric charm. If you've been following along for the cozy house-hunting adventures, this cover promises the series hasn't lost its knack for pairing the fantastical with the endearingly mundane.
