結界師 [Kekkaishi] #16

Volume 16 of Yoshimori Sumimura and Tokine Yukimura's supernatural saga presents a striking cover where a sharply dressed young man in a suit and fedora stands at the forefront, a wide-eyed white-haired child perched on his shoulders, while glowing paper lanterns illuminate the scene around them. Looming behind them is an ominous mass of dark, ghostly creatures and shadowy spirits, their twisted forms filling the upper reaches of the image with an eerie, atmospheric menace. Published by Shogakukan under the Shonen Sunday Comics Special imprint, this volume balances that tension between the human and the supernatural in a way that makes it hard not to reach for the next page.
