Kagurabachi Volume 5 Gabriele Dell’Otto Cover Revealed

by

Gabriele Dell’Otto, a popular Italian artist famous for his comic book cover work with Marvel and DC, has created a special variant cover for Volume 5 of the manga series, Kagurabachi.

The artwork combines Dell’Otto’s realistic painting style with the dynamic feel of Takeru Hokazono’s series. The cover depicts the main character, Chihiro, fighting with his sword, and features prominent goldfish, which hold symbolic meaning in the manga.

What Is Kagurabachi About?

Kagurabachi, by Takeru Hokazono, tells the story of Chihiro Rokuhira, the son of a famous swordsmith. After his father is violently killed, Chihiro embarks on a quest for revenge against the sorcerers responsible. Armed with magical blades made by his father, he navigates a dangerous world filled with violence, deception, and formidable foes, struggling to maintain his own sense of morality while driven by his desire for vengeance.

This manga has become well-known for blending classic samurai stories with supernatural themes. It’s been compared to popular series like *Bleach*, but it quickly establishes its own unique style.
