Dead Rock #5

A round-faced, wide-eyed creature clad in pink robes hoists a crackling purple hammer crackling with lightning on the cover of Dead Rock Vol. 5 — an arresting image that perfectly captures the series' blend of quirky character design and supernatural energy. Published under Kodansha's Monthly Shōnen Magazine Comics imprint and presented by Hiro Mashima, this fifth volume continues what's shaping up to be a visually inventive series. If this cover is any indication, the story's mix of charm and raw elemental power is only getting more compelling.
