桃源暗鬼 [Tougen Anki] #26

Volume 26 of Tougen Anki greets readers with a striking close-up of a pale, sharp-featured character in a white jacket, blood at the corner of their mouth and a cold, unsettling intensity in their gaze. The stark black-and-white composition, punctuated by streaks of red, perfectly captures the dark supernatural tension that has defined this Shonen Champion series throughout its run. If this cover is any indication, the story is pushing its characters — and its readers — into some genuinely harrowing territory.
