Fool's Paradise #1

The opening volume of Ninjyamu Misao's Fool's Paradise arrives with an immediately arresting cover: a pale young woman in a tattered white dress clutches a microphone, her blue hair cascading around her as blood-red spatters mark her costume and skin. Published in 2018 by Dargaud under the Kana imprint, this French-language manga announces itself as something dark and stylish right from the first page. If this striking image is any indication, the series blends idol-culture aesthetics with something far more dangerous lurking beneath the surface.
