L'Île infernale #3

Volume 3 of Yusuke Ochiai's L'Île infernale arrives with a cover that is quietly unsettling — a young woman rendered entirely in washes of deep crimson and pink stares out with an unreadable, almost hollow expression, her long hair framing a remote rocky island looming in the background. The minimalist palette and loose, painterly linework give the image a dreamlike unease that suits the series' dark atmosphere perfectly. If you've been following this French-published manga since 2013, this third volume promises to keep the tension coiled tight.
