探偵はもう、死んでいる。 [Tantei wa Mō, Shinde Iru.] #2

Volume 2 of The Detective Is Already Dead manga brings together a charming trio on its cover — a lively girl in a pink frilly dress, a dark-haired young man in a black coat standing behind her, and a cool, red-eyed girl in a school uniform at his side. The contrast between the bubbly warmth of the foreground figure and the quieter intensity of the pair behind her gives the composition a nicely layered, intriguing feel. Fans of the light novel series will find this Kadokawa release a welcoming entry point into the manga adaptation.
