Kasane: La Voleuse de Visage #9

Two faces draw intimately close on this ninth volume's hauntingly beautiful cover — a dark-haired figure and another whose features nearly mirror theirs, separated only by the gleaming edge of a blade held between them. Daruma Matsuura's series Kasane: La Voleuse de Visage continues to weave its atmosphere of beauty, danger, and duality, and this Ki-oon Seinen entry captures that tension in a single, quietly breathtaking image. If you've been following this French edition, volume 9 makes a striking addition to the shelf.
