Keiji #15

Volume 15 of Keiji, the historical manga by Keichirō Ryū and Tetsuo Hara, brings the series' flamboyant warrior front and center in a burst of gold and fire. The cover shows Keiji himself — adorned in his signature lavishly patterned, flower-embroidered armor — lunging forward with one outstretched hand and a fierce battle cry, sword at his hip and defiance blazing in his eyes. Published by Casterman's Sakka imprint in 2010, this volume is a vivid reminder of why Hara's dynamic linework makes every page feel like a force of nature.
