The Young Master’s Revenge #1

Meca Tanaka launches this shojo series with a cover that immediately sets the tone: a sharp-eyed young man with warm auburn hair and a school uniform gazes coolly over his clasped hands, framed by elegant illustrated roses on a vivid red background. The expression on his face — thoughtful, a little guarded, maybe plotting something — perfectly suits a title promising intrigue and calculated moves. At $9.99, this 2018 Viz release is an inviting entry point into whatever tension Tanaka has in store.
