Keiko Yamada: Heaven Goes Goth

Back in the day (the era of Robotech) if I wanted to buy a manga I had to travel all the way into Manhattan from the burbs and hunt down one of the two or three Japanese bookstores in town. But I’m so happy to see that American publishers like DC Comics are not only bringing in manga, but shojo manga at that! Shown above is the cover for Go Go Heaven!! Vol. 5 by Keiko Yamada. I love the soft water color quality of the illustration, it’s a nice change of pace from the typical superhero stuff.
