Le Requiem du Roi des Roses #7

Volume 7 of Aya Kanno's Le Requiem du Roi des Roses arrives with a striking cover portrait: a cold-eyed queen in an ornate jeweled crown holds a slender blade delicately to her lips, her expression hovering between threat and composure against an intricate golden damask background. The image radiates regal menace and the kind of political tension that has made this seinen series a compelling read. Published by Ki-oon in 2017, this French-edition volume continues what looks to be a richly atmospheric tale of power and survival.
