Evol #1

Atsushi Kaneko launches Evol with this striking first volume from Delcourt/Tonkam, its crisp black-and-white cover featuring three masked figures lounging with an almost casual cool — a woman seated on the ground, a young man in a folding chair, and a taller cloaked figure standing behind them, all framed by bold graphic elements: a red diamond, a dripping skull, and jagged green lightning bolts. The minimalist design balances playful irreverence with a sharp, stylish edge that feels entirely Kaneko's own. If this 2023 opener is any indication, Evol promises to be one of the more visually distinctive manga releases of the year.
