A Certain Scientific Accelerator #7

Volume 7 of *A Certain Scientific Accelerator* puts its white-haired, red-eyed protagonist front and center in a storm of swirling dark energy, shattered rubble flying outward as he crouches low with one hand pressed to the cracked ground and the other raising a ribbon-wrapped weapon overhead. Arata Yamaji's cover work captures the character's signature unsettling grin against a backdrop of deep purple and black, conveying barely contained power with real visual flair. With story by Kazuma Kamachi and art by Arata Yamaji, this 2018 release from Seven Seas Entertainment is a strong pick for fans of Academy City's most formidable esper.
