虎は龍をまだ喰べない。[Tora wa Ryū o Mada Tabenai] #4

Volume 4 of Tora wa Ryū o Mada Tabenai continues this striking Kadokawa series with a cover that perfectly captures its brooding atmosphere — a tall, dark-winged figure cradles a smaller, green-haired companion against a pale ground, the contrast between protector and protected feeling both tender and a little dangerous. Hachi Inaba's art pulls the eye immediately with bold kanji overlaid across the composition and that dramatic spread of black feathers framing the duo. Fans of moody, character-driven manga with a supernatural edge will find this volume's presentation hard to resist.
