Spell of Desire #1

The opening volume of Spell of Desire arrives with a cover by Tomu Ohmi that immediately sets a lush, romantic tone — a pale-eyed blonde woman in a white off-the-shoulder dress gazes downward at a dark-haired man resting against her, delicate flowers drifting around them in a golden haze. Ohmi's linework is tender and charged at once, balancing intimacy with an undercurrent of mystery that feels true to the supernatural romance genre. A compelling start to what promises to be a beautifully drawn series from Viz's 2014 lineup.
