ホムンクルス [Homunculus] #1

A striking opening volume from creator Yamamoto Hideo, Homunculus announces itself with a cover that's quietly unsettling: a lean young man in a pinstripe suit stands with one hand raised to cover his eye, hinting at hidden perception or a reality not quite what it seems. The bold red tribal-style logo curling behind him adds an edge of the uncanny to an otherwise composed figure. It's a deceptively understated introduction to what promises to be a psychologically charged manga series.
