Hoshin Engi #9

Ryu Fujisaki's mythological adventure manga continues with this ninth volume from Viz's Shonen Jump line, featuring a striking cover of a red-haired, athletically built fighter posed confidently with what appears to be a large golden glove and a small orb in hand. The character's dynamic stance and elaborate winged accessories give the image an energetic, otherworldly flair that perfectly captures the series' blend of ancient Chinese legend and manga imagination. If you've been following Fujisaki's ambitious reimagining of the Investiture of the Gods, this volume belongs on your shelf.
