On the other side of the spectrum, The Manga Guide to Cryptography came out recently, if that's more your style: https://nostarch.com/mangacrypto

The Manga Guide series has been surprisingly good in general. Not the most in depth stuff but generally quality intro texts.

Unfortunately from the preview the typesetting of the English translation in the new crypto book looks awful. Hopefully the actual content is still of good quality.

Unfortunately there are missing exponents on some of the calculations.

Somehow I have zero surprise that it comes from Japanese researchers.

I suppose authors provide contents and the publisher hire illustrators to draw?
