Battle Angel Alita #[2]

Yukito Kishiro's *Battle Angel Alita: Tears of an Angel* arrives in this 1994 Viz Graphic Novel, its cover depicting Alita — dark-haired, wide-eyed, and clad in form-fitting black — reclining against a worn brick backdrop, her gleaming cybernetic arm a striking contrast to an otherwise quietly human expression. The title "Tears of an Angel" and the story arc "Out of Blue Sky Struggle 1: Running Wild" hint at an emotional intensity to match the action, and Kishiro's linework, both pencils and inks handled by his own hand, gives the image a raw, personal quality. A genuinely compelling package for anyone drawn to cyberpunk manga with real heart.
