乱と灰色の世界 [Ran and the Gray World] #1

A sprawling, dreamlike tree anchors this stunning first volume, its branches cradling a whimsical young woman with flowing blue-streaked hair who lounges amid sweets and strawberries, while below, everyday life unfolds in a warmly detailed neighborhood streetscape. Aki Irie's Ran and the Gray World opens with a cover that perfectly balances the fantastical and the domestic — magic spilling effortlessly into the mundane. Published by Enterbrain under the Beam Comix imprint, this is an immediately arresting introduction to what promises to be a richly imagined world.
