The ancient Magus Bride #9

Volume 9 of Koré Yamazaki's The Ancient Magus Bride offers a quietly captivating cover: a red-haired young woman in a school uniform stands near a sunlit window, her hand gently held by the imposing, skull-headed Elias Ainsworth, who sits draped in his signature dark robes and red scarf amid lush green surroundings. The tender contrast between the slight, bright-eyed girl and her towering, otherworldly companion perfectly captures the series' blend of warmth and strangeness. A lovely addition to this French-language edition from Komikku Éditions, presented at an accessible 7,99 EUR.
