Levius/est #5

The fifth volume of Haruhisa Nakata's Levius/est presents a striking cover pairing: a cloaked, goggle-wearing figure in the foreground clutches a heavy mechanical arm, while a pale, ghostly male face looms large in the upper background amid geometric line work. Nakata's delicate yet detailed linework gives the composition an elegantly haunting quality, balancing industrial weight with an almost dreamlike fragility. Collecting chapters 24 through 28 from Young Jump Comics ULTRA, this volume is a handsome addition to the steampunk boxing saga.
