時間停止勇者 [Jikan Teishi Yuusha] #12

Volume 12 of Yasunori Mitsunaga's Time Stop Brave arrives from Kōdansha, and the cover delivers a confident pairing: a smirking dark-haired hero stands side by side with a tall, pointy-eared elven warrior in green, a sword at her back and a no-nonsense expression on her face. Clock imagery frames the duo against the series title, capturing the blend of adventure and time-bending tension that has made this manga a satisfying read through 2023.
