テガミバチ [Tegami Bachi] #2

Volume 2 of Tegami Bachi (Letter Bee) gathers its cast of young travelers against a swirling backdrop of snow and starlight, with the wide-eyed central boy and several companions rendered in Hiroyuki Asada's delicate, luminous linework. The cover's cool blues and warm glowing accents give the whole thing a wintry, almost fairy-tale atmosphere that perfectly suits this story of letters carried through a frozen, dangerous world. A lovely edition from Shueisha's Bunko line for anyone drawn to adventure manga with genuine heart.
