Couverture de Manga Psychologique Sombre

Vertical manga cover illustration in a bleak monochrome ink-and-watercolor style, 2:3 aspect ratio. Centered portrait cropped from the upper torso upward of a slim androgynous young man with [messy pale blond] hair tied into a low ponytail, long bangs partly covering one eye, pale skin, narrow tired eyes, and a faint bitter smile. He wears a formal black suit jacket, white shirt, and black tie, delicately holding a pale chrysanthemum-like flower near his chest. Two fragile insect-like antennae or moth wings, translucent gray-green and delicately veined, sprout from the top of his head, pulled and grasped by surrounding hands. Surrounding him, exactly 10 dark charcoal-black hands enter from the borders—5 from the left edge and 5 from the right edge—elongated, clawlike, accusatory, or pinching, gripping the moth wings and holding a drooping stem. Background is a black vertical panel framed by off-white side borders, filled with thin vertical gold lines and dripping white and gold droplets. Centered near the top is distressed white Japanese title typography reading "[黒蟲]", with the volume number "[1]" underneath. Muted palette strictly limited to black, charcoal, dirty white, faded gold, pale blond, and translucent gray-green. Rough watercolor paper texture, scratched ink edges, delicate hatching, uneven washes, with no modern digital sheen or gloss.
