Alice on Border Road #6

Two figures dominate this tense cover — a broad-shouldered man gripping a handgun and a young dark-haired woman poised just behind him, both rendered in Takayoshi Kuroda's sharply detailed linework against a cool, glitchy backdrop. The bold orange title lettering and the playing-card "6" tie the volume firmly to the deadly game-world atmosphere that writer Haro Asō's series is known for. If you've been following this survival thriller from Delcourt/Tonkam, volume six promises to keep the stakes right where you left them — dangerously high.
