Gachiakuta #3

Volume 3 of Kei Urana's Gachiakuta makes an immediate impression, with a sharp-eyed, blonde fighter striding forward in a flowing grey coat, a massive blade balanced casually across his shoulders — tribal tattoos crawling up his neck and rings stacked on his fingers adding to his menacing confidence. The dark, ornate background patterning and bold blood-red lettering give the whole package a gritty, street-art energy, complemented by Hideyoshi Andou's graffiti design work. If the first two volumes had you hooked, this 2024 Kodansha USA release is exactly the kind of cover that promises the series is only getting more intense.
