Dog End #4

Volume 4 of Dog End opens with a striking cover that says plenty about the manga's hard-edged tone: a sharp-eyed man in a white shirt levels a pistol directly at the viewer, while a small, wide-eyed figure in a black costume huddles just below him, the contrast between the two immediately electric. Behind them, a shadowy collage of additional characters hints at a broader, dangerous world lurking in the background. Published by Dargaud/Kana in 2019, this French-edition volume delivers the kind of tense, stylish manga crime atmosphere that fans of the genre will find hard to resist.
