ＳＨＷＤ《シュード》[SHWD: Pseudo] #1

Two compelling women dominate this striking cover — one with red hair and glasses projecting quiet intensity, the other cool and composed beside her — their contrasting energies telegraphing the "mental strength meets physical strength" dynamic promised by the Japanese tagline. Published by Jitsugyo no Nihon Sha, this opening volume launches what bills itself as the "strongest yuri" series for resilient women, and the bold yellow SHWD lettering against a deep blue-shadowed backdrop gives the whole package a sleek, thriller-adjacent edge. If you're drawn to yuri stories with a bit of grit and attitude, this first volume announces itself with real confidence.
