さよなら絶望先生 [Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei] #10

Volume 10 of Koji Kumeta's darkly comedic manga Sayonara, Zetsubou-Sensei presents its perpetually despairing teacher front and center, clad in his signature white kimono and hakama, standing against a softly patterned background dotted with drifting autumn leaves. The restrained elegance of the cover design perfectly captures the series' blend of traditional Japanese aesthetics with absurdist, pitch-black humor. A fine addition to the shelf for fans following Nozomu Itoshiki's endearingly hopeless adventures.
