The Boxer #2

The second volume of JH's striking manhwa series announces itself with a cover as stark and unsettling as the sport it depicts — a battered, blood-spattered face in extreme close-up, one pale blue eye staring out with eerie calm beneath layers of grime and crimson. The minimalist design is quietly arresting, letting that single eye carry the full weight of whatever punishment has been endured. If this 2023 Yen Press release is any indication, The Boxer is a series that understands how to make stillness feel violent.
