Karneval #22

Touya Mikanagi's long-running fantasy series reaches its twenty-second volume with a cover that's pure visual spectacle — a red-haired figure in a tall top hat languidly licks a glowing pink orb, draped in richly patterned fabrics amid a swirl of butterflies, mushrooms, stars, and ornate geometric patterns. The palette explodes with jewel-toned blues, golds, and magentas, perfectly capturing the series' signature blend of carnival whimsy and underlying menace. Published by Ki-oon's Shonen imprint in 2019, this volume continues to showcase Mikanagi's lush, elaborately detailed art style at its most dazzling.
