逃げ上手の若君 [Nige Jōzu no Wakagimi] #21

Volume 21 of Nige Jōzu no Wakagimi arrives in 2025 with a striking cover featuring a sharp-eyed young man in traditional Japanese court attire — tall black eboshi hat, a flowing kimono patterned with bamboo and cranes — gripping a sword with quiet intensity. Looming behind him is a hauntingly detailed anatomical figure, its exposed ribcage and internal organs rendered in vivid, almost painterly color against the swirling grey background. Creator Yūsei Matsui delivers a cover that balances elegance and unease in equal measure, making this volume hard to pass up for fans of the series.
