Les liens du sang #14

Volume 14 of Shuzo Oshimi's Les Liens du Sang arrives from Ki-oon Seinen with a cover that is quietly breathtaking — a close-up of a woman's face, half-swathed in shadow, her deep-red lips the only warm color against a wash of cool blues, while a younger figure gazes upward behind her, arms crossed and expression distant. The contrast between the two figures — one looming and unknowable, the other seemingly adrift — captures the suffocating psychological tension that defines this series. Oshimi's delicate, painterly linework makes even stillness feel charged, and this 2023 volume promises to draw readers deeper into the unsettling bond at the story's heart.
