Frau Faust #4

Volume 4 of Frau Faust arrives with a cover full of dramatic energy — a silver-haired figure in a sweeping purple-and-checkered robe points forward with bold confidence, while a younger blonde companion in a green cloak looks on with wide eyes against a crumbling brick backdrop. Kore Yamazaki, the creator of The Ancient Magus' Bride, brings the same richly atmospheric character design to this 2018 Kodansha USA release. If you've been following this dark, stylish fantasy, volume 4 looks like exactly the right moment to lean in.
