Rising Sun #7

Satoshi Fujiwara's military manga continues with this seventh volume, its cover depicting two camouflage-clad soldiers in full field gear — helmets adorned with grass and foliage for natural concealment — as one consults a map or document while the other stands armed and alert. The grounded, realistic detail in Fujiwara's artwork gives Rising Sun a genuinely immersive quality that sets it apart from more fantastical action manga. If you're drawn to thoughtful, tactically-minded stories of modern soldiering, this 2016 Komikku Éditions release belongs on your shelf.
