繭、纏う [Mayu, Matou] #5

A young woman in a dark dress is captured mid-turn on this elegantly spare cover, her long hair swept dramatically as if caught by an unseen wind — a quietly arresting image that speaks to both stillness and motion at once. Creator 原百合子 (Hara Yuriko) brings a refined, atmospheric touch to this fifth volume from Kadokawa, with the deep black background lending the composition a melancholic, almost dreamlike weight. Readers following 繭、纏う will find volume five's cover every bit as beautifully understated as the series' aesthetic promises.
