Valhallian - The Black Iron #1

Published by Ki-oon under their seinen imprint in 2023, this opening volume of Valhallian – The Black Iron announces itself with real visual flair from creator Toshimitsu Matsubara. The cover places two striking figures front and center: a fierce, dark-haired warrior in a flowing red scarf clutching a blade wreathed in cherry blossoms, alongside a silver-haired young woman with luminous eyes and a feathered mantle, glowing orbs drifting around her. The contrast between raw, battle-hardened energy and something otherworldly and ethereal sets a compelling tone for whatever this world has in store.
