呪術廻戦 [Jujutsu Kaisen] #0

Against a deep crimson background streaked with dark, unsettling shapes, the cover of this 2018 Jump Comics volume features a dark-haired young man in a school uniform clutching a golden-hilted weapon, while a pale, ghostly figure with long hair clings to him — the tension between the two immediately suggests something far more complicated than an ordinary bond. Subtitled 東京都立呪術高等専門学校 (Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical School), this special Volume 0 entry in Gege Akutami's Jujutsu Kaisen sets a distinctly eerie, emotionally charged tone right from its striking cover art. A compelling starting point for anyone drawn to supernatural action rooted in genuine human feeling.
