Le Pacte des Yôkai #4

A gentle yet otherworldly mood permeates this fourth volume of Yuki Midorikawa's Le Pacte des Yôkai, published by Éditions Delcourt in 2008. The cover draws you in with a soft-toned scene of a young man resting peacefully alongside a large, luminous white fox-like creature, the two surrounded by delicate floral patterns in rich reds and greens. It's a beautifully tender image that captures the quiet, intimate bond between the human and spirit worlds at the heart of this series.
