Tetsumin #3

Volume 3 of Keita Sugahara's Tetsumin delivers exactly the unsettling blend of the familiar and the mechanical that makes this series so compelling. The cover presents a young girl whose exterior has been partially torn away to reveal a skeletal, industrial chassis beneath — human eyes wide above a rigid, exposed metal jaw, a schoolbook tucked under one arm as if nothing is out of the ordinary. It's a quietly haunting image, and Sugahara renders the contrast between soft, everyday details and cold machinery with real precision.
