Kekkaishi #26

Volume 26 of Yellow Tanabe's Kekkaishi puts its protagonist front and center — dark-haired and intense, fist raised against a deep red sky marked by a crescent moon, his expression radiating focused resolve. The stark black-and-white of his traditional clothing cuts a sharp contrast against that dramatic crimson backdrop, giving the cover a striking, almost ceremonial weight. Tanabe's clean, expressive linework is on full display here, making this a compelling entry in Viz's Shonen Sunday lineup.
