いちご100% [Strawberry 100% / Ichigo Hyaku Pāsento] #8

The bunkoban eighth volume of Mizuki Kawashita's beloved romantic comedy Strawberry 100% presents a quietly striking cover: a dark-haired girl in a school uniform, grey jacket, and plaid skirt strides forward against a bold red-and-white polka-dot background, a vivid red scarf trailing behind her. There's a real sense of movement and personality in the image — the slightly downcast gaze and casual confidence make it easy to see why this series resonated so strongly with readers. Published by Shueisha's Bunko imprint, this compact edition is a great way to revisit (or discover) one of shonen romance manga's most heartfelt stories.
