Masked Noise #2

Volume 2 of Ryoko Fukuyama's Masked Noise keeps the music and mystery in full swing, with a brooding young guitarist front and center — dark hair falling across his face, a black scarf pulled up to obscure his features, and an electric guitar gripped in his hands. The teal background and scattered pink stars give the cover a cool, electric energy that perfectly suits this shojo series about sound, identity, and whatever lies beneath the mask. Published by Glénat in 2016, this is a stylish entry in a series that knows how to strike a chord.
