L'Allumeuse #2

Volume 2 of Konomi ShikiShiro's L'Allumeuse from Soleil Manga keeps the heat turned up with a cover that places a confident, long-haired young woman center stage — draped in a plaid dress and lounging amid a scatter of papers, her gaze direct and self-assured. Published in 2015 and rated for mature audiences, this French-edition manga promises the kind of bold, provocative storytelling the series has been building toward. A compelling pick for fans of contemporary mature manga with strong character presence.
