MASTERキートン [Master Keaton] #7

Against a muted, elegant black cover, a close-up portrait of Taichi Keaton — composed, watchful, and quietly determined — anchors this seventh volume from Naoki Urasawa, with story by Hokusei Katsushika and Urasawa. The cover text sets the scene perfectly: an archaeologist-turned-insurance-investigator still struggling to find steady academic work, yet drawn into an unending stream of cases against the turbulent backdrop of a late-20th-century world reshaped by the fall of the Berlin Wall. It's a beautifully restrained package for a series that finds genuine humanity in the bittersweet lives Keaton moves through.
