野ばらとプリテンダー [Nobara to Pretender] #1

Two figures dominate this striking cover: a dark-haired young man adorned in dramatic black and gold military-style regalia gazes intensely downward, while a silver-haired figure reclines beneath him amid open books, rose motifs, and richly patterned fabric. The interplay of opulence and tension — epaulettes, jeweled ornaments, cascading white hair — sets a mood that feels equal parts royal intrigue and gothic romance. Published by Libre under the BBC Deluxe imprint, Wild Roses and Pretenders Vol. 1 opens a manga series that clearly has style and atmosphere to spare.
