Mirai Nikki #7

A confident, smirking man with a distinctive swept-up hairstyle dominates the foreground of this 2010 Casterman volume, while a purple-haired young woman stands apart behind him, a shadowy crowd stretching into the distance between them. The tension between these two figures — one radiating menace, the other cool and guarded — captures everything that makes Sakae Esuno's Mirai Nikki such a compelling psychological thriller. Volume 7 promises another sharp, unsettling chapter in this survival-game series.
