The Heroic Legend of Arslan #16

Dominating the cover of this 2022 Kodansha USA volume is a rotund, richly robed figure wearing a jeweled crown and opulent royal regalia — an imposing presence whose serene expression hints at layers of scheming beneath the surface. Hiromu Arakawa's manga adaptation of Yoshiki Tanaka's story continues here, and the artwork's careful attention to costume detail and character presence is on full display. If you've been following Arslan's epic journey, volume 16 keeps the grand political intrigue and vivid world-building firmly in focus.
