グレイプニル [Gleipnir] #5

Volume 5 of Gleipnir presents a striking cover that immediately captures the series' unsettling blend of the human and monstrous — a blonde schoolgirl in a white shirt and grey skirt sits coolly at the center, framed by the looming, grotesque form of a large creature suit with hollow, staring eyes and massive clawed hands. The contrast between her composed expression and the hulking, almost suffocating presence behind her tells you everything you need to know about the tension at the heart of this series. Published by Kōdansha, this volume is a compelling entry in creator 武田すん (Takeda Sun)'s dark supernatural action manga.
