太陽と月の鋼 [Taiyō to Tsuki no Hagane] #9

Volume 9 of Taiyō to Tsuki no Hagane from Shogakukan arrives with a hauntingly beautiful cover: a close-up of a red-haired girl with striking crimson eyes, one finger raised delicately to her lips in a gesture of silence or secrecy. The muted, painterly tones contrast against her vivid hair and unsettling gaze, giving the image an atmosphere that feels both intimate and quietly ominous. If you've been following Daruma Matsuura's series, this 2024 installment looks like a compelling reason to keep the pages turning.
