Slumbering Beauty #1

Yumi Unita's Slumbering Beauty opens with a dreamy, fairy-tale atmosphere — the cover depicts a dark-haired young woman in a teal gown resting peacefully against a large pink cushion, a small crown nestled in her hair, surrounded by delicate white blossoms and bare, twisting branches beneath a pale moon. The kintsugi-like gold cracks tracing across her dress hint at a story where beauty and fragility are intertwined. This 2017 Seven Seas release looks to be a lush, melancholy reimagining of a classic sleeping princess tale, rendered with quiet elegance by Unita's hand.
