Anjin-San #[nn]

George Akiyama's *Anjin-San* arrives with a cover that perfectly balances tranquility and quiet charm — cherry blossoms frame a serene coastal harbor scene, where a detailed fishing boat sits moored in calm waters against a soft blue sky, while a small whimsical spirit-like figure floats overhead clutching an umbrella. The warm palette of dusty gold and sky blue gives the whole composition an almost nostalgic, contemplative feeling that's hard to resist. Published by Le Lézard Noir in 2012, this is the kind of manga that draws you in with its atmosphere before you've even opened the cover.
