Sleeping Charon #1

A striking first volume from Sayaka Mogi, Sleeping Charon announces itself with a cover that balances delicate beauty and quiet unease — a wide-eyed young girl in a vivid, rainbow-hued dress sits surrounded by lush roses, while behind her a darkened mansion looms beneath a full moon, bare trees and a lone crow completing the eerie atmosphere. The contrast between the girl's soft, doll-like presence and the foreboding gothic manor creates an immediate sense of mystery that draws you in. Published by Komikku Éditions in 2018, this is a visually captivating opener for anyone drawn to manga where fairy-tale innocence and shadows intertwine.
