Nine Peaks #5

Tetsuhiro Hirakawa's seinen series continues with this fifth volume from Ki-oon, its cover dominated by a striking close-up of a young man whose sharp, steady gaze radiates quiet intensity against a cool teal backdrop layered with brushstroke calligraphy. The restrained palette and meticulous linework make for a compelling portrait that speaks to the series' serious, grounded tone. If you've been following Nine Peaks, this 2025 installment looks every bit as thoughtfully crafted as what came before.
