殺し愛 [Koroshi Ai] #10

Two figures dominate this striking volume 10 cover — a blond young man in the foreground pointing a revolver directly at the viewer, while a darker-haired man looms behind him amid a scatter of pink petals. The juxtaposition of delicate blossoms against cold steel captures the tension between intimacy and danger that the title Koroshi Ai ("Love of Kill") promises. If you've been following this cat-and-mouse romance thriller from Kadokawa, this volume's cover suggests the stakes between these two are as sharp as ever.
