Le huitième fils #9

Volume 9 of Le Huitième Fils brings together a striking ensemble of young men on its cover, with a thoughtful, auburn-haired protagonist at the center, flanked by several sharply dressed companions who radiate a mix of resolve and quiet tension. Hiroki Kusomoto's manga adaptation — based on Y.A's original work with character designs by Fuzichoco — continues to deliver the blend of fantasy and intrigue that defines this series. If you've been following this world of noble ambition and unlikely alliances, 2023's ninth volume looks like a compelling next chapter.
