King of Eden #5

Volume 5 of King of Eden continues this gripping seinen thriller from Ki-oon, with a cover that sets a tense, atmospheric tone: a sharp-eyed man in a dark jacket grips a knife, standing resolute against a backdrop of twisted, organic tendrils that curl through a cool blue-grey void. Writer Takashi Nagasaki and artist Ignito deliver a striking visual mood — quiet menace balanced against something deeply unsettling lurking just behind the protagonist. If you've been following this series through its 2018 run, this volume promises more of the brooding intensity that makes King of Eden such a compelling read.
