Rising Sun #12

Two soldiers in full combat gear stand tense against a rain-soaked grey backdrop — one looming large in the foreground, the other crouched watchfully behind him — capturing the grim, grounded atmosphere that defines Satoshi Fujiwara's military manga. Rising Sun Vol. 12 continues this unflinching look at modern warfare with the kind of quiet, heavy tension that sets it apart from more action-heavy titles. If you've been following this series, this 2018 entry from Komikku Éditions keeps the mood as relentless as ever.
