La Rose écarlate #6

In a luminous swirl of green and gold light, a dark-haired young man cradles an unconscious young woman in his arms — the tenderness and tension between the two figures making this 2010 Delcourt volume an immediately compelling visual statement. Subtitled Je crois que je t'aime ("I think I love you"), the sixth installment of Patricia Lyfoung's beloved French manga-influenced series promises emotional depth to match its striking romanticism. Lyfoung's fluid linework, enriched by Philippe Ogaki's atmospheric coloring, gives the cover an almost dreamlike quality that draws you straight in.
