Soul Eater #11

Atsushi Ohkubo's Soul Eater Volume 11 from Kurokawa brings together a striking trio on its cover: a tall, confident blond figure in casual streetwear carrying a hefty coiled weapon, flanked by a small wide-eyed girl in white and a dapper, top-hatted companion. The contrast between the characters' wildly different sizes and styles captures exactly the offbeat charm that makes this series so compelling. A great addition to any shonen manga collection from 2010.
