恋と心臓 [Koi to Shinzō] #2

The cover of this second volume draws you in immediately — two figures in close, intimate proximity, rendered in deep purples and blacks, with a striking blue rose adding a touch of dramatic elegance to the composition. The art, by 海道ちとせ (Kaitō Chitose), balances delicacy and tension beautifully, with fine linework and a richly atmospheric palette that feels both romantic and a little mysterious. If the first volume left you wanting more of this moody, emotionally charged world, volume two promises to keep that feeling alive.
