Dog End #3

Volume 3 of Yudukaya's Dog End arrives in French via Kana with a cover that makes an immediate impression: a hulking figure in a purple jacket and baseball jersey sports a pale, grinning mask and grips a bloodstained bat, radiating menace against a deep purple backdrop. The stark contrast between that unsettling smile and the blood-spattered details sets the tone for the kind of brutal, high-tension manga this series delivers. Fans of dark, hard-edged action will find plenty to draw them in here.
