Rising Sun #8

Volume 8 of Satoshi Fujiwara's Rising Sun puts its lone soldier front and center — a hooded, camouflage-clad figure crouched in what appears to be a cold, snow-dusted environment, rifle slung at his back, eyes set with quiet intensity. The muted, painterly tones of blues and greens give the cover a raw, weathered atmosphere that perfectly suits this gritty military manga. If you've been following this 2016 series, this volume promises more of the unflinching tension Fujiwara brings to every page.
