Karneval #4

Touya Mikanagi's Karneval continues its stylish run with this fourth volume from Ki-oon, featuring a striking cover of a pale, blue-haired young man pressing a gloved hand to his face — a large butterfly and swirling geometric patterns framing him against a high-contrast black-and-white background. The moody, elegant art perfectly captures the series' blend of dark fantasy and theatrical flair that had readers hooked in 2012. If you're following this visually inventive manga, volume four is a treat for the eyes before you even turn the first page.
