Élément R #1

The opening volume of Élément R from Vents d'Ouest sets a striking tone, with a blonde, white-clad young man emerging from swirling blue-white energy, his clenched fist and intense expression suggesting formidable power just barely held in check. The clean, manga-influenced linework by Nayen, Bouveret, and Tribout gives the figure an ethereal quality — part warrior, part elemental force. A compelling start for readers drawn to stylish French manga and stories built around characters with something electric running through them.
