Rainbow #3

Volume 3 of George Abe and Masami Kakizaki's Rainbow, published by Kazé Ultimate in 2016, continues this gripping human drama with a cover that draws you right into its world. Kakizaki's detailed artwork presents a striking composition of four figures — a sharp-featured young man in close-up at the front, a determined-looking boy with a wide smile behind him, and two older figures receding into the background against a faded urban streetscape. The muted, reddish-tinged palette and the quiet tension between the characters speak to the emotional depth that has made this series so compelling.
