Jackals #4

Volume 4 of Jackals delivers exactly what the series promises: a blood-spattered close-up of a spiky-haired gunslinger, weapon raised and expression locked in cold, brutal focus. The Ki-oon seinen imprint brings Shinya Murata and Kim Byung Jin's gritty action manga to French readers in this 2009 edition, and the cover's crimson-streaked white background leaves no doubt about the tone of what's inside. If visceral, hard-edged seinen action is your thing, this volume's cover alone makes a compelling case.
