Tales of the Kingdom #2

Two richly adorned figures dominate this striking cover — one draped in white robes looming tall behind the other, who stares forward with cool, imperious intensity beneath elaborate gold-and-crimson regalia. Asumiko Nakamura's refined linework gives both characters an otherworldly stillness that hints at power, hierarchy, and tension simmering just beneath the surface. The second volume of Tales of the Kingdom is a gorgeous addition to any shelf of literary manga.
