Rave #15

Volume 15 of Hiro Mashima's Rave arrives in its French edition from Glénat, and the cover sets an appropriately tense mood — a white-haired young hero in an orange jacket stands his ground at the center, flanked by a crowd of imposing, battle-worn figures, while a small creature in a top hat peeks out beside him. The surrounding cast of hulking, scarred opponents gives the composition a real sense of danger closing in from every angle. Fans of Mashima's energetic adventure series will find this 2005 Édition Française volume a satisfying chapter in the journey.
