Le Chevalier d'Eon #3

Volume 3 of Le Chevalier d'Eon arrives with a striking cover that pulls no punches — a sharp-eyed, fair-haired figure dominates the frame, wrists bound overhead and shirt open, those piercing blue eyes radiating defiance rather than defeat. The bold red X slashing across the composition gives the whole image an urgent, unsettling tension that perfectly suits this manga adaptation of Tou Ubukata's story, brought to life visually by Kiriko Yumeji. Published by Kodansha USA in 2014, this volume promises the same atmospheric blend of history and supernatural intrigue that makes this series so compelling.
