Rising Sun #1

A grinning soldier in full camouflage gear thrusts a confident fist toward the reader on this striking opening volume from Satoshi Fujiwara, setting a bold, energetic tone for the series right from the start. Rising Sun arrives from Komikku Éditions in 2014 with a cover that blends military realism with manga dynamism — the rifle slung over the soldier's shoulder and that direct, almost challenging stare making it clear this is a story with teeth. If military manga drawn with sharp, expressive linework is your thing, this first volume looks like a very promising place to begin.
