Riku-Do #5

Volume 5 of Toshimitsu Matsubara's Riku-Do: La Rage aux Poings makes an immediate impression with its cover — a sharp-eyed, cigarette-clenched fighter looming large in the foreground, his raised fist hovering over a glass of whiskey on the rocks, while a tattooed figure lurks ominously in the background. The tension radiating off this Kazé release is palpable, capturing the hard-edged underground world that defines the series. If gritty, street-level action manga is your thing, this 2017 volume delivers exactly the kind of raw, uncompromising energy that keeps readers coming back.
