Le Requiem du Roi des Roses #1

The opening volume of Aya Kanno's Le Requiem du Roi des Roses arrives through Ki-oon's seinen imprint with a cover that immediately sets a brooding, gothic tone — a dark-haired figure in ornate armor holds a fair-haired companion close, both framed by stark white branches and accents of deep rose. The interplay of shadow, pale skin, and those scattered roses promises a story steeped in melancholy elegance. A compelling starting point for readers drawn to atmospheric manga with a dark romantic sensibility.
