Lost Lad London #3

Two figures — a slight young person in a vivid yellow coat and a taller man in grey — walk side by side through a muted, dusky cityscape alive with swooping birds, the cover's cool blues and warm pinks giving Shima Shinya's art a quietly cinematic tension. Ki-oon's seinen imprint brings this third volume to French readers, and the atmospheric staging hints at a relationship that's equal parts uneasy alliance and fragile trust. If you've been following this London-set mystery, volume three promises to keep that brooding, elegantly restrained mood at full pitch.
