Les liens du sang #16

Volume 16 of Shuzo Oshimi's Les liens du sang, published by Ki-oon's seinen imprint in 2024, arrives with a cover rendered in Oshimi's distinctively delicate pencil-like linework — a young man stands alone outdoors, clutching what appears to be a notebook or folder, his expression quietly introspective against a softly sketched background of trees and a fence. That restrained, almost melancholic atmosphere is entirely characteristic of this series, which has earned a devoted readership for its emotionally precise storytelling.
