Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? On the Side: Sword Oratoria #13

Volume 13 of Sword Oratoria arrives with a striking cover from artist Takashi Yagi, showcasing a white-cloaked elven warrior with flowing green hair standing in a poised, almost ethereal stance alongside a blue-armored companion — with the looming silhouette of a massive dungeon creature lurking ominously in the background. The contrast between the elegant figures and that hulking threat perfectly captures the tension at the heart of this beloved spinoff series, based on original story by Fujino Omori and character designs by Kiyotaka Haimura and Suzuhito Yasuda. If you've been following the Loki Familia's underground adventures, this 2020 volume looks like a genuinely compelling addition to the shelf.
