Lune de sang #5

Volume 5 of Lune de Sang delivers a striking cover straight from Maruyama Tomo's brush: a bloodied young woman with long white hair and a drawn sword crouches before an enormous, crackling wolf-like creature whose blue-grey fur bristles with lightning. Red maple leaves swirl around them both, adding a haunting seasonal beauty to what is clearly a moment of high tension between human and beast. Published by Bamboo Édition under the Doki-Doki imprint in 2015, this volume promises the same blend of atmospheric folklore and visceral action that makes this series such a compelling read.
