RaW Hero #4

Volume 4 of Akira Hiramoto's RaW Hero announces itself with an up-close, unsettling portrait of a schoolgirl — dark twin-tails, violet eyes, and a wide-open mouth with her tongue extended — flashing a playful peace sign that feels anything but innocent. The bold red background and extreme close-up framing give the cover an intensity that fits right in with the series' reputation for sharp edges and provocative attitude. Published under Kōdansha's Evening KC imprint, this volume continues what is clearly a series unafraid to get right in your face.
