白竜Hadou [Hakuryuu Hadou] #19

Volume 19 of 白竜Hadou puts its hard-edged protagonist front and center — a sharp-eyed man with swept-back hair grips a pistol with cool, coiled intensity, a luminous dragon motif rising dramatically behind him against a blazing neon cityscape. The tension radiating off that cover perfectly captures the gritty, street-level crime atmosphere that defines this Nichibo Comics series, with story by 天王寺大 and art by 渡辺みちお. Fans of Japanese crime manga will find this volume's cover promises exactly the kind of high-stakes, atmospheric drama the series delivers.
