常住戦陣!!ムシブギョー [Jōjū Senjin!! Mushibugyo] #3

Two lively figures dominate this Edo-period manga cover — a grinning young warrior in vivid red-and-blue kimono and a mysterious companion wearing a stark white Noh mask — framed by cascading wisteria blossoms and a traditional ukiyo-e–style townscape. The pairing of bright, energetic character design against the woodblock-print aesthetic gives volume three of Jōjū Senjin!! Mushibugyo a wonderfully distinctive look that sets it apart on any shelf. Published by Shogakukan, this series clearly delights in blending classic Japanese visual tradition with high-spirited action manga energy.
