Giga Tokyo Toybox #8

Volume 8 of Giga Tokyo Toybox arrives in a burst of cherry blossoms, with a confident young woman striking a dynamic pose against a soft pink sky full of falling petals — equal parts fierce and effortlessly cool. The artwork by the duo UME (Ogawa Takahiro and Seo Asako) brings a lively energy to this French-language edition from Bamboo Édition's Doki Doki imprint. If you've been following this series through its 2012 run, this volume looks like a satisfying continuation of the blend of style and attitude that defines the series.
