Jin #11

Volume 11 of Motoka Murakami's Jin, published by Éditions Tonkam in 2010, brings us this striking cover pairing a woman in an elegant red kimono with ornate hair ornaments alongside a wide-eyed man in a green robe, both reaching toward a small paper airplane drifting between them — a quietly playful image that speaks to the series' blend of Edo-period atmosphere and modern intrusion. The contrast between their traditional dress and that unmistakably contemporary paper aircraft captures the heart of what makes this manga so compelling. French readers following Jin's journey through feudal Japan will find plenty to look forward to in this eleventh installment.
