天空侵犯 [Tenkuu Shinpan] #9

Volume 9 of Tenkuu Shinpan delivers another striking cover from artist 大羽隆廣, based on the story by 三浦追儡, framing three young women against a dramatic urban skyline of towering buildings under a cloud-streaked blue sky. At the center stands a dark-haired girl in a school uniform with a holstered weapon at her hip, commanding and alert, while a green-haired companion in a blue dress looks away into the distance and a smaller blonde figure crouches at her feet. The tension between the characters' composed stillness and that vast city backdrop gives the series its signature mix of high-school unease and sky-high stakes.
