桃源暗鬼 [Tougen Anki] #3

Volume 3 of Tougen Anki puts its masked, black-clad protagonist front and center, clutching what appears to be a grotesque, bloodied supernatural creature with an unsettling tangle of dark appendages — a striking image that captures the series' blend of stylish cool and visceral horror. Published under Akita Shoten's Shōnen Champion Comics imprint, this shōnen series clearly has a bold visual identity, pairing its sharp character design with imagery that hints at a world where dark forces are very much handled up close and personally.
