The isolated Zone #1

The first volume of The Isolated Zone (Shinku Chitai) arrives from Éditions H2T with a cover that immediately commands attention — a determined young man in a headband stares out with steely resolve, his expression carrying equal parts intensity and quiet resilience. Nao Yazawa's clean, expressive linework gives this opening volume a grounded, character-driven feel that draws you straight in. A promising start to what looks like a compelling manga series.
