Ariadne- L'empire céleste #2

Norihiro Yagi's fantasy manga continues with this second volume, its cover placing two striking characters amid jagged rocky formations as serpentine red tendrils curl through the air around them — a young woman in a flowing white dress looks on with wide blue eyes while her armored, red-haired companion leaps forward with fists raised and a battle cry on his lips. The contrast between her ethereal grace and his fierce combat energy gives the pairing an immediately compelling dynamic. Published by Glénat in 2019, this is a visually confident continuation of what looks to be an ambitious action-fantasy series.
