ケロロ軍曹 [Keroro Gunsō / Sgt. Frog] #29

Volume 29 of Mine Yoshizaki's beloved Keroro Gunsō puts its pint-sized amphibian sergeant front and center, striking a confident pose with his signature star badge gleaming, while two girls flank him in an energetic tug-of-war struggle against a looming, shadowy horned creature with glowing eyes that dominates the background. The contrast between Keroro's cheerful green presence and the ominous dark figure behind him captures exactly the playful-yet-dramatic tone that has made this series such a joy. Published by Kadokawa under the Comics A imprint, this volume is a fine addition to one of manga's most charming comedic sci-fi runs.
