La tour fantôme #8

Volume 8 of La Tour Fantôme — Taro Nogizaka's French-edition manga — presents a striking cover where a young figure in a flowing blue dress catches glittering gold coins mid-air, while a bespectacled man looms large in the background and a group of mysterious white-robed figures recedes into the shadows behind them. The interplay of scattered coins, a clock face, and those enigmatic background characters gives the composition a dreamlike, slightly unsettling tension that perfectly suits this series' eerie atmosphere. Published by Glénat in 2015, this volume is a compelling entry in the French run of this dark fantasy.
