ジェラシー [Jealousy] #1

Against a burning red background, the cover of Jealousy Vol. 1 presents a striking close-up of a dark-haired figure lying down, eyes half-closed, a cigarette trailing a curl of smoke into the air — the whole composition radiating a mood of languid tension and quiet intensity. Scarlet Beriko's linework is immediately arresting, capturing something achingly intimate in that single, still moment. Published by Shinshokan, this first volume promises the kind of emotionally charged storytelling that Beriko's art style makes impossible to look away from.
