MADK #3

The cover of MADK Vol. 3 makes an immediate impression: a massive, gaping maw dominates the frame, its dark interior cradling two entwined figures — small, vulnerable, and intimately close — rendered in striking contrast against the surrounding teeth and shadow. Ryo Suzuri's art is at once beautiful and unsettling, using scale and surreal imagery to convey a tension between danger and desire that defines this series. Rated explicit content and published by Viz in 2023, this volume promises the same darkly gorgeous aesthetic that makes MADK one of the more visually daring manga currently in print.
