"Designed with Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, this cover art for Finalist Sentry Volume 2 highlights the enigmatic presence of the series’ deuteragonist, Mieko Kishimara. She stands with a serious expression against a sprawling cityscape, her neon bo staff resting on her back, symbolizing her quiet strength. The back cover adopts a minimalistic approach, featuring Mieko in a defensive stance, gripping her staff in one hand. This restrained design choice enhances the mystery surrounding her character and the true extent of her abilities."
