鬼灯の冷徹 [Hozuki no Reitetsu] #12

A cheerful white cat-like spirit takes center stage on this limited edition volume, cradling a lush arrangement of peaches and colorful fruits while surrounded by an elaborate border teeming with dozens of whimsical feline figures. The ornate frame and densely packed cast of characters give the cover a wonderfully festive, almost ceremonial energy that feels right at home in the supernatural world of Hozuki no Reitetsu. Fans of Natsumi Eguchi's darkly comic afterlife series will find this twelfth volume's presentation — marked as a 限定版 (limited edition) — as charmingly inventive as the series itself.
