ノラガミ [Noragami] #23

Two figures dominate this striking volume 23 cover — a dark-haired young man in the foreground with vivid red eyes, and a second figure looming behind him, hand on a drawn katana, both framed by delicate pink camellia blossoms against a cool, moody background. Adachitoka's linework brings an elegant tension to the composition, balancing beauty and the ever-present threat of violence that runs through Noragami's world of gods and regalia. A compelling entry in this long-running Monthly Shōnen Magazine series from Kōdansha.
