Sekirei #3

Two striking figures dominate Sakurako Gokurakuin's cover for this third volume — a wide-eyed young woman in a flowing pink-and-white outfit with red gauntlets, and a cool, silver-haired swordswoman in black poised behind her with blade drawn. Gokurakuin's linework brings real elegance to the contrast between the two characters, hinting at a world where beauty and danger are inseparable. A solid pick-up for fans of action-tinged manga with strong, visually compelling female leads.
