Le Requiem du Roi des Roses #6

Volume 6 of Aya Kanno's Le Requiem du Roi des Roses presents a striking cover that's hard to look away from — a pale, red-eyed figure in gleaming silver armor clutches a bouquet of dark crimson roses, his expression cold and unreadable beneath a sweep of auburn hair. The teal background traced with bare, shadowy branches lends the image a haunted, elegiac atmosphere perfectly suited to this seinen series published by Ki-oon. If you've been following this brooding medieval drama, this 2017 installment looks ready to deliver more of the intense, beautifully rendered tension the series does so well.
