風光る [Kaze Hikaru] #5

A quietly compelling volume in Watanabe Taeko's long-running historical manga, this fifth installment carries the same understated elegance that defines the series. The cover presents a young man rendered in clean, restrained linework — his composed expression and traditional clothing evoking the tension and discipline of Japan's Bakumatsu era. For readers following this story of loyalty and identity set against a turbulent period of Japanese history, this volume is a graceful continuation.
