By the Grace of the Gods #5

Volume 5 of *By the Grace of the Gods* puts its young hero Ryoma front and center, hands outstretched toward a swirling mass of cheerful slimes — those round, button-eyed creatures that seem to be his constant companions. Flanking him are two sharp-dressed companions, one in cool blues and another in warm earth tones, giving the whole cover an energetic, adventurous feel. If you've been following Ryoma's slime-filled journey, this 2022 Square Enix release looks like a thoroughly fun addition to the series.
