Real Account #7

Volume 7 of Real Account arrives with a cover that's hard to look away from — a figure in a black hoodie bearing the series' "R" emblem thrusts blood-splattered hands toward the viewer, its round, blank-faced mask streaked red against a chaotic background. Shizumu Watanabe's linework sells the tension perfectly, turning a deceptively simple composition into something genuinely unsettling. With story by Okushou driving the social-media-as-death-trap premise, this 2017 Kodansha USA release keeps the series' dark energy running at full tilt.
