L'Académie Alice #9

Volume 9 of Tachibana Higuchi's beloved series arrives in this 2009 Glénat French edition, its cover dominated by a striking, dark-haired figure in a black turtleneck holding a playing card with cool, enigmatic confidence. The checkerboard-patterned background and glimpse of the academy's ornate architecture frame the scene with a sense of mystery that perfectly captures the series' blend of school drama and supernatural intrigue. Fans of L'Académie Alice will find this volume's presentation every bit as stylish as the story it promises.
