Pétales de Réincarnation #12

Volume 12 of Mikihisa Konishi's Pétales de Réincarnation announces itself with striking unease — a masked figure stares out from the cover, their face split by dark cracks and spattered with vivid red, a monocle gleaming ominously against the grey palette. The contrast between that cold, fractured visage and the explosive bursts of crimson makes for an arresting image that captures the series' blend of dark atmosphere and stylish tension. Fans of the series will find this 2021 Komikku Éditions volume looking every bit as compelling as the chapters within promise to be.
