黒の召喚士 [Kuro no Shōkanshi] #23

A clash of titans defines this striking volume of Kuro no Shōkanshi — on the cover, a massively built, bare-armed warrior grapples face-to-face with a dark-armored swordsman in an intense close-quarters confrontation, surrounded by swirling blue-violet energy. Illustrations by ダイエクスト (DIGS) and character designs rendered with Kurogane's signature style bring visceral weight to every muscle and gleam of steel. Volume 23, subtitled "贋物たる神" ("The Counterfeit God"), looks like an unmissable chapter in this long-running Overlap series.
