Soloist in a Cage #1

Shiro Moriya's Soloist in a Cage arrives in French via Ki-oon with a striking first volume, its golden-toned cover depicting a young woman with white hair tumbling freely through the air between towering city buildings, her striped scarf and dark cloak billowing dramatically around her. The imagery immediately evokes both freedom and confinement — a fitting tension for a title that pairs the word "soloist" with "cage." It's a visually arresting introduction to what promises to be a compelling seinen series.
