The World is still beautiful #9

Volume 9 of Dai Shiina's The World Is Still Beautiful draws you in immediately with its cover — a white-haired young man with striking golden eyes and a red-haired young woman leaning close together, framed by drifting autumn leaves against a brooding, cloud-filled sky. The intimacy and tension between the two figures radiates from every detail, from their near-touching foreheads to the delicate linework that defines Shiina's art. Published by Delcourt/Tonkam in 2019, this volume is a compelling entry in a series that beautifully balances romance and drama.
