ホムンクルス [Homunculus] #4

The cover of this fourth volume of Hideo Yamamoto's Homunculus sets an immediately unsettling tone — a sharply dressed young man stares downward with an intense, almost dissociated expression, while a striking red tribal motif (the series' signature visual for psychic perception) curls dramatically behind him. The muted, sketch-like linework gives the image a raw, psychological weight that perfectly suits this manga's exploration of identity and altered consciousness. A compelling volume in one of seinen manga's more genuinely unnerving psychological series.
