結界師 [Kekkaishi] #10

A quietly unsettling image greets readers of this tenth volume of Yellow Tanabe's Kekkaishi — a robed, masked figure seated at a low table, chopsticks in hand, surrounded by scrolls bearing Japanese calligraphy, with a small spilled vessel hinting at something subtly amiss. Tanabe's restrained, atmospheric art style brings a mood of eerie calm to what is clearly a world where the everyday and the supernatural sit uncomfortably close together. Fans of thoughtful, tension-laced supernatural manga will find this complete edition from Shogakukan a satisfying continuation of the series.
