Hoshin Engi #4

Ryu Fujisaki's sweeping blend of ancient Chinese mythology and shonen action continues in this fourth volume from Viz's Shonen Jump lineup. The cover puts a confident, sharp-eyed young warrior front and center — seated in a composed cross-legged pose, staff in hand, draped in flowing robes with his distinctive blonde hair and headband giving him an effortlessly cool presence. If you've been following Taikobo's journey, this is exactly the kind of bold, assured imagery that makes Hoshin Engi such a rewarding series to collect.
