Marion #2

A young woman in flowing white robes perches high above a sweeping Parisian skyline, the Eiffel Tower rising in the distance as scattered papers drift through the pale sky — and she holds a gleaming sword with quiet, composed confidence. Yuu Hikasa's elegant linework gives this second volume of Marion a dreamlike, almost mythic atmosphere, blending the grandeur of Paris with something unmistakably otherworldly. If this striking 2019 cover is any indication, the series has a genuine gift for making the fantastical feel beautifully intimate.
