かつて神だった獣たちへ [Katsute Kami Datta Kemono-tachi e] #9

Volume 9 of To the Abandoned Sacred Beasts looms with quiet intensity, its cover dominated by a brooding young man in a white coat standing resolute before the towering silhouette of a massive wolf — a pairing that captures the series' central tension between humanity and monstrous power. Creator MAYBE renders both figures in a cool, atmospheric blue-grey palette that feels as haunted as the story it represents. Fans of dark fantasy manga will find this Kōdansha volume a compelling addition to one of the genre's more thoughtful explorations of soldiers, sacrifice, and the beasts they became.
