ガラスの仮面 [Glass no Kamen] #27

Three faces emerge from a cascade of violet roses and shattered glass on this softcover volume of Glass Mask — two young women and a young man rendered in the luminous, realistic style that has long distinguished Suzue Miuchi's long-running theatrical drama. The delicate golden masquerade mask and jeweled ring floating at the bottom of the cover neatly encapsulate the series' twin obsessions: performance and passion. Volume 27, subtitled めぐりあう魂① ("Intertwining Souls, Part 1"), promises an emotionally charged chapter in one of shōjo manga's most enduring stories.
