Mao #21

Rumiko Takahashi's Mao reaches its twenty-first volume in this 2025 Viz release, and the cover makes a quietly striking impression — a young woman with cat ears, dressed in an elegant black-and-white checkered kimono with pink and teal accents, gazes out with cool, composed eyes against a gold-toned backdrop of peony blossoms and ornate borders. Takahashi's signature blend of the supernatural and the stylish is on full display here, with every detail of the character's design feeling both delicate and purposeful. Fans of the series will find this volume every bit as visually refined as the story deserves.
