Masked Noise #3

A brooding, guitar-wielding young man dominates this bold yellow cover, his dark hair and round glasses giving him an effortlessly cool, rock-star edge. Volume 3 of Ryoko Fukuyama's Masked Noise keeps the series' sharp shoujo aesthetic firing on all cylinders, blending music and intensity in a way that's hard to look away from. If you've been following this melodic drama from Glénat's 2016 lineup, this installment looks every bit as charged as what came before.
