Glitch - グリッチ - [Glitch] #1

The cover of Glitch Vol. 1 from Kadokawa's Beam Comix line sets an immediately compelling mood — two young figures, a tall young man and a shorter young woman, stand together on a quiet residential street beneath a red "no entry" sign, their body language caught somewhere between hesitation and quiet tension. The palette is a beautifully muted teal, bathing suburban rooftops, utility wires, and drifting clouds in a dreamlike, slightly uneasy calm. Shinya Shima's work announces itself with real visual confidence right from this opening volume.
