Made in Abyss #12

Two young cave raiders press close together beneath dappled light filtering through the canopy above, their wide-brimmed helmets nearly touching as they cradle a small, round creature between them — a quietly tender image that captures the bond at the heart of Made in Abyss. Akihito Tsukushi's painterly cover art bathes the scene in layered greens and warm earth tones, giving the volume an almost dreamlike atmosphere despite the adventurers' worn, expedition-ready gear. Volume 12 of this beloved series continues to show why Tsukushi's world of mystery and danger is told just as powerfully through quiet moments as through the perils of the Abyss itself.
