Le Requiem du Roi des Roses #16

Volume 16 of Aya Kanno's Le Requiem du Roi des Roses arrives from Ki-oon with a cover that is all moody intensity — a pale, silver-haired figure closes his eyes in an almost serene expression while dark, blood-red roses and shadowy petals swirl dramatically around him. The rich crimson palette and the character's elegantly tattered attire give the whole image a gothic, melancholic grandeur that perfectly suits this seinen series. If you've been following this dark medieval drama, volume 16's striking 2022 cover promises the tension and atmosphere fans have come to love.
