The Heroic Legend of Arslân #22

Volume 22 of Hiromu Arakawa and Yoshiki Tanaka's The Heroic Legend of Arslan commands attention with this striking cover — a powerfully built, bearded warrior in ornate armor and a deep crimson cape, his gauntleted fists clasped together in a posture that radiates cold authority. The elaborate belt with its jeweled eye-like ornament and the richly decorated golden border framing the composition speak to the series' meticulous world-building and grand epic sweep. If you've been following this long-running collaboration between Tanaka's original story and Arakawa's bold draftsmanship, this 2025 volume from Kurokawa is a satisfying addition to one of manga's most compelling historical fantasies.
