Soil #2

A warm family portrait rendered in delicate pink line art sets an unexpectedly tender tone for this unsettling mystery manga. The cover shows a smiling couple and their young daughter posed cheerfully in front of a house surrounded by potted flowers — a picture of domestic tranquility that feels almost too perfect. Creator Atsushi Kaneko's precise, understated artwork makes this 2011 Ankama edition quietly compelling from its very first glance.
