La tour fantôme #9

Volume 9 of La Tour Fantôme, published by Glénat in 2015, brings fresh energy to Taro Nogizaka's manga adaptation of Reiko Azuma's novel series. The cover is lively and playful, featuring two young men in period dress — one grinning broadly with an arm raised, the other wide-eyed with surprise — while a smiling young woman in a teal hat looks on warmly, and a more serious figure with an easel appears in the background beneath a grand clock and architectural ironwork. It's a charming snapshot of the series' blend of friendship, intrigue, and early-twentieth-century atmosphere.
