魔法少女事変 [Mahou Shoujo Jihen] #2

The second volume of Mahou Shoujo Jihen from Kadokawa presents a quietly striking cover: a fair-haired young man reclines languidly on a sofa, surrounded by scattered books and small objects, while a dark-haired figure in black stands apart near lush indoor plants, an air of cool distance between them. The soft sage-green palette and elegant framing give the whole scene a sophisticated, almost literary atmosphere that sets this series apart from the typical magical-girl aesthetic. A compelling pairing of contrasting personalities — and contrasting wardrobes — makes this volume immediately intriguing.
