Nine Peaks #6

Volume 6 of Tetsushiro Hirakawa's Nine Peaks crackles with tension right from the cover, where two fierce young fighters — one with close-cropped hair and one with a wild, curly mane — square up side by side, mouths open and eyes blazing with raw defiance. Ki-oon's seinen line continues to deliver with this intense martial drama, and the dynamic energy Hirakawa brings to these two characters makes it clear the stakes are only climbing higher.
