からくりサーカス [Karakuri Circus] [Le Cirque de Karakuri] #32

Kazuhiro Fujita's long-running mechanical-circus saga reaches its thirty-second volume, with a quietly tense cover showing a young boy seated on stone steps, his expression guarded, while a vivid blue bird takes flight beside him. The muted blues and greens of the palette give the scene an eerie, contemplative mood that fits perfectly with the series' blend of childhood vulnerability and hidden danger. Fans following this Shogakukan run will find the visual atmosphere here as compelling as ever.
