風光る [Kaze Hikaru] #3

A young samurai gazes with quiet intensity from this third volume of Watanabe Taeko's historical manga series, the understated cover art conveying both discipline and inner resolve. Published by Shogakukan, Kaze Hikaru follows the turbulent world of the Shinsengumi, and this installment promises the same blend of period authenticity and compelling character work that defines the series. Fans of thoughtful, beautifully rendered historical fiction will find much to appreciate here.
