Igai - The Play Dead/Alive #3

The cover of this third volume says everything you need to know about Tsukasa Saimura's brutal survival series — a close-up of a bloodied, hollow-eyed figure, face streaked with crimson, staring out with an intensity that is equal parts haunting and unsettling. Igai - The Play Dead/Alive continues to push its premise into genuinely dark territory, and Glénat's 2017 French edition delivers that tension right from the first glance. If you've been following this series, volume three looks set to keep the stakes uncomfortably high.
