無限の住人 [Mugen no Jūnin] #15

Two figures — a wild-haired swordsman and a kimono-clad woman — walk side by side through what appears to be a swirling snowfall, rendered in evocative pencil tones accented with gold on this striking new-edition cover. The subdued, almost monochrome palette gives the image a haunting intimacy, perfectly suited to Blade of the Immortal's blend of feudal-era atmosphere and quiet tension. Volume 15 of Hiroaki Samura's acclaimed series continues to deliver the kind of moody, masterfully composed artwork that has made this manga a standout of its genre.
