Magical Girl of the End #5

Volume 5 of Kentaro Sato's Magical Girl of the End makes its intentions unmistakably clear on the cover: a pale, blood-splattered figure with strikingly split black-and-white hair stands in a quietly menacing pose, one finger raised to her lips as if urging silence. The stark contrast between her ghostly appearance and the dark crimson stains gives this 2015 Éditions Akata release an unsettling, atmospheric weight that fans of dark manga will find hard to look away from.
