The Great Snake’s Bride #2

Fushiashikumo's supernatural romance continues in this second volume, where the cover perfectly captures the series' delicate tension: a young woman in a white-and-blue kimono gazes upward as an enormous serpent looms behind her, its forked red tongue curling toward her hand with an intimacy that feels equal parts unsettling and tender. Pale wildflowers bloom at her feet, softening the scene with quiet beauty against the weathered wooden structure in the background. If you were drawn in by the first volume's blend of folklore and feeling, this 2023 release from Seven Seas Entertainment gives every indication that Fushiashikumo's intricate linework and atmospheric storytelling are only deepening.
