Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo #12

Yoshio Sawai's gloriously absurd manga rolls on with volume 12, and the cover captures its chaotic spirit perfectly — a wide-eyed, roaring figure looms large against a blazing yellow background, clutching a blue masked face while an orange masked character glowers in the foreground. The energy is big, goofy, and utterly committed to its own brand of joyful mayhem, exactly what fans of this series have come to love. If you enjoy manga that throws convention out the window with a grin, this 2009 Casterman edition belongs on your shelf.
