Happiness #6

The pale, haunting cover of Happiness Vol. 6 says everything without saying a word — a young woman in profile, a tear tracing her cheek and a raw wound at her neck, rendered in Shuzo Oshimi's characteristically delicate, melancholy linework. Published by Pika Édition in 2019, this volume of Oshimi's vampire-tinged series carries the quiet devastation the series is known for. If you've been following this emotionally precise manga, volume 6 promises more of the aching tension between vulnerability and darkness that makes Happiness so compelling.
