Future Diary #5

Sakae Esuno's survival thriller Future Diary reaches its fifth volume with a cover that sets an appropriately tense mood — a bandage-wrapped figure grips a handgun in the foreground while a stylish young woman in orange stands watchfully behind, all framed beneath the ominous tagline "Every text could be your last." The stark, shadowy composition by Esuno captures the series' blend of paranoia and high-stakes action perfectly. If you've been following this deadly game of diary-wielding competitors, volume five looks to keep the pressure firmly on.
