Le chef de Nobunaga #7

Set against warm amber tones, this seventh volume of Le Chef de Nobunaga presents a determined young man in traditional Japanese robes, arm outstretched as if reaching toward something just beyond his grasp — a quietly powerful image that captures both purpose and tension. Mitsuru Nishimura's scenario and Takuro Kajikawa's art (credited on the cover) bring a distinctive elegance to this French-edition manga from Komikku Éditions. If you've been following this culinary-historical series, volume 7's 2015 release looks every bit as compelling as what came before.
