嘘解きレトリック [Usotoki Rhetoric] #3

Volume 3 of Usotoki Rhetoric presents a striking cover dominated by bold red peonies and delicate floral patterns surrounding a young woman dressed in a richly decorated kimono, her wide eyes conveying a mix of alertness and vulnerability. The geometric black-and-white border frames the composition beautifully, giving the whole design an elegant Taisho-era aesthetic that suits this period mystery series perfectly. Published by Hakusensha under their Hana to Yume imprint, this volume continues what looks to be a visually gorgeous and emotionally compelling story.
