Ni no kuni #2

The second volume of Ni no Kuni: L'Héritier de la Lumière et le Prince Chat continues Ran Kuze's manga adaptation of the beloved Level-5 world, published by Mana Books in 2021. The cover is dominated by a brooding young man in a sweeping black-and-white cape, his dark disheveled hair and guarded expression radiating quiet intensity against a stark black background. It's a moody, elegantly composed portrait that captures the fantasy series' blend of shadow and wonder perfectly.
