The Invincible Shovel #6

Volume 6 of The Invincible Shovel delivers a striking cover from artist Renji Fukuhara, with story by Yasohachi Tsuchise and character designs by Hagure Yuuki — and it's an arresting composition. A determined young warrior with dark hair and vivid blue eyes clutches an ornate decorated shield, while an imposing silver-haired figure with piercing red eyes looms large in the background amid classical columns and sweeping crimson drapery. The tagline "Wave Motion Shovel Blast!" sums up the series' wonderfully absurd energy perfectly, making this 2023 volume a genuinely fun addition to one of manga's more delightfully offbeat fantasy adventures.
