Rising Sun #9

The ninth volume of Satoshi Fujiwara's military manga Rising Sun presents a cover that means business: a helmeted soldier in full combat gear stands at the center, rifle in hand and arms crossed, while two crouching comrades flank him in a posture of quiet readiness. Fujiwara's detailed, grounded artwork gives the scene a weight that fans of realistic military fiction will immediately appreciate. If you've been following this series about modern soldiering, volume 9 keeps the tension firmly in place.
